You will first need to make or buy a graham cracker crust. We've been over this before, but you can make your own graham cracker crust. I used chocolate graham crackers for this recipe. Anyway, in addition to the crust, you will need 2/3 cup of sugar plus two tablespoons (don't ask me why, because I don't know), 1/4 cup of cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 4 egg yolks, 3 cups of half-and-half, 8 ounces of semi-sweet baking chocolate, two tablespoons of softened butter and 1-1/2 teaspoons of vanilla.
First of all, separate those yolks from the rest of the egg. You could make meringue with the whites, I suppose, but I never know what the fuck to do with the whites. This isn't a meringue pie:
In a heavy-bottomed sauce pan (to prevent scorching, doncha know) combine the sugar, cornstarch, salt and egg yolks:
Whisk in the half-and-half:
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly:
Add the chocolate, stir it in until melted and smooth, then cook for about a minute or two:
Remove from heat and add the butter and vanilla:
Pour that shit into the crust that you made or bought and let it set in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours:
By the way, why do we call it the Fridge when there is no "d" in refrigerator? Just sayin'. Anyway, enjoy the pie, 'cause it is fucking awesome.
