3 egg yolks
1 1/2 cup sugar

While stirring, mix in the vanilla. Cream pies take some time to thicken, so stir... and stir (10 to 15 minutes). Using a heavy bottom pan really helps. Just keep it up until it thickens. Pour into a pre-baked pie shell. Put in the fridge to chill for several hours before serving. Add whipped cream, cool whip, or a baked meringue for the topping if you like :)

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup solid vegetable shortening
1 tablespoon sugar
6 to 7 tablespoons ice cold water
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
Pinch salt
3 cups milk
3 eggs, separated
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well. Add the shortening and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water and let sit 1 minute. Either using a fork or your hands, carefully press the mixture together to form a soft ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough on the floured surface into a circle about 12 inches in diameter and 1/8 of an inch thick. Gently fold the circle of dough in half and then in half again so that you can lift it without tearing it, and unfold into a 9-inch by 2-inch deep-dish pie pan. Crimp the edges and place in the oven. Bake until golden, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
  • In a saucepan, combine the chocolate, 1 cup sugar, cornstarch and salt. Mix well. Stir in the milk. Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Beat the egg yolks. Add 1/2 cup of the hot mixture to the egg yolks and mix well. Add the mixture back to the saucepan and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and butter. Pour the filling into the prepared pie shell and cool completely. Cover with plastic and refrigerate until chilled.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Beat the egg whites, on medium speed, until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Spread the meringue evenly over the pie. Place in a preheated 350 degree oven, on the top rack and bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove and cut into individual servings.
