Ingredients

Instructions

  • Roll the pie dough and line a 9" pie plate. Save the dough trimmings. Chill the dough while you preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Line the unbaked crust with foil and fill with beans, pie weights or granulated sugar. Bake until the crust is light blond color and there's no raw dough on the bottom, about 20 minutes. Reduce the oven to 300°F.
  • Remove the foil with the pie weights. If any cracks or gaps have formed in the crust, use the dough trimming to fill in those gaps. This will prevent the custard from leaking out as the pie bakes.
  • In a small microwave proof bowl, melt the chocolate with the butter. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the sugar, corn starch, cocoa and salt. Add the eggs and yolks and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the buttermilk and vanilla. Then whisk in the melted chocolate/butter.
  • Pour the custard into the crust. Bake until the custard is set, about 40 minutes.
  • Enjoy slightly warm, room temperature or chilled. Any leftovers should be refrigerated.
