Directions Grandma Emma's Fudgy Chocolate Pie
Directions
-
Cream sugar and yolks together in a large saucepan. Add milk, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt, whisk until no lumps remain. Add half-and-half and heat over medium heat, whisking constantly until filling is thickened, about 20 minutes.
Turn off heat when filling starts to bubble, continue to stir for 1 minute. Remove thickened filling from the warm burner. Add butter and vanilla extract, stirring well until melted and well incorporated. Let filling sit to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
Stir filling well and pour into graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Chill, uncovered, in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
