Dark Chocolate Pie is a rich pie with a silky filling that’s full of chocolate flavor. Serve with a dollop of fresh whipped cream sprinkled with a few chocolate chips for an unbelievably easy dessert.

 
This pie is simple to make and the filling sets up really well. The dark chocolate flavor comes from dark chocolate chips. Be sure to use good quality chocolate chips. I like Hershey’s or Ghiradelli.
Except for the pie crust, this is a no-bake pie. The thick, custard filling is easy to make on the stovetop. It’s a simple mixture of sugar, cornstarch, salt, egg yolks, milk, butter, vanilla, and dark chocolate chips.

 
Dark Chocolate Pie Recipe Tips:
You can use a homemade pie crust, a refrigerated pie crust, or a frozen one. You will need pie weights or dried beans to cook the pie crust. They help weigh it down so that it does not puff up as it cooks. I use dried lima beans. They can be used over and over again for this purpose. This pie is also really good in a graham cracker crust.
To make this pie Christmasy, try adding a touch of peppermint extract to the filling.
If you’re not a fan of dark chocolate, try semi-sweet chocolate.
Once you pour the pie in the filling, cover the surface with plastic wrap. This will prevent a film from forming on top.
Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for about 4 days.

Dark Chocolate Pie is a great make-ahead pie for the holidays.
