Return of the Son of the Chocolate Pudding Pie
- 1 12 cups flour
- 1 12 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 12 cup cooking oil (avoid strong flavors such as olive oil)
- 3 tablespoons cold milk
- 13 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 egg yolks
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped or 12 cup mini chocolate chip
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Sift flour, the 1.5 tsp sugar, and the 1/2 tsp salt into a 9-inch pie plate, making sure they are well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together oil and milk.
- Add this to the pie plate, and mix with fork until well blended.
- Starting from the center, press crust evenly into pie plate.
- Flute edges with fork (if you want).
- Freeze pie crust for ten minutes.
- This will help prevent it from bubbling up while baking.
- Place chilled crust in oven and bake until light golden brown, about ten minutes (maybe more if your freezer is really powerful).
- Set crust aside in a cool place.
- For the filling, prepare a cold bowl by placing it in a few inches of ice-cold water in the sink.
- Next, combine the 1/3 cup sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, and the 1/4 tsp salt in a medium saucepan.
- Whisk together cream and egg yolks, then whisk this into the sugar mixture.
- Cook on medium-low heat, stirring almost constantly, until thickened (about 8 minutes).
- Add chocolate and butter, and stir quickly to melt.
- Most likely the pudding will need sieving, so pour though a sieve or mesh strainer into the cold bowl.
- Allow it to cool somewhat, then pour it into your prepared crust.
- Cover with plastic wrap (it should be touching the surface of the pudding, to prevent skin).
- You may have extra pudding if your pie plate is shallow or your pudding was exceptionally smooth.
- Pour this into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap as well.
- Place pie and any extra pudding in the refrigerator, and allow to set for at least 30 minutes, preferably one hour or more.
- Refrigerated pie will keep for several days.
