Evaporated Milk Chocolate Pie Recipe

Step 1

Break up egg yolks. Place the egg yolks in a large, microwave-safe mixing bowl and break them up with a whisk. Add the evaporated milk and whisk until perfectly combined and you no longer see streaks of egg yolk.

Step 2

Heat mixture. Heat in the microwave on high for2 minutes. Then take the bowl out and whisk vigorously. Microwave for another 2minutes on high until the mixture thickens.

Step 3

Melt chocolate. Add the chopped chocolate and stir until completely melted. If necessary, microwave for 30seconds to help the melting process.

Step 4

Combine yolks + milk. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the evaporated milk and egg yolks until very well combined. To avoid scrambled yolks, make sure the yolks are fully incorporated.

Step 5

Thicken. Cook over medium heat, constantly stirring, until the mixture starts to simmer and thickens slightly. Be careful not to boil.

Step 6

Add chocolate. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped chocolate until fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 7

Assemble pie. Pour the chocolate mixture right away into the pie crust and smooth over the top.

Step 8

Chill. Let cool to room temperature, then chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.

Step 9

Garnish+ serve. If desired, garnish your chocolate pie with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Cut into slices and enjoy!
