List of Ingredients



• 1 ½ cups flour, plus more for dusting
  
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  
• 7 tablespoons unsalted butter
  
• ¼ cup ice-cold water
  
• 1 cup sugar
  
• â…“ cup cornstarch
  
• ½ teaspoon salt
  
• 4 egg yolks
  
• 3 cups milk
  
• 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped, plus shaved for garnish
  
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  
• 1 cup heavy cream
  






Instructions



1. Pulse flour, salt, and butter in a food processor into pea-size crumbles. Add water; pulse until dough comes together. Roll dough into a disk and place in plastic wrap; chill 1 hour.
   
   
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-inch round. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim edges and crimp; chill for 30 minutes.
   
   
3. Heat oven to 375° F. Using a fork, prick the dough all over. Line dough with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans; bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Remove paper and weights and bake until cooked through, about 5 minutes more; let cool.
   
   
4. Beat sugar, cornstarch, salt, and egg yolks in a bowl and set aside. Heat milk over medium-high heat until bubbles form around the edge. Slowly add in egg mixture, whisking constantly until thick, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add in chocolate and vanilla; stir until chocolate has melted and incorporated. Pour into prepared pie shell and cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface; refrigerate until firm, 4 to 6 hours.
   
   
5. Whip cream until stiff peaks form. Remove plastic wrap from pie and cover with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
