Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 egg yolks, beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 (9-inch) pie crust, baked

Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, salt, cocoa powder, and flour.
- Gradually whisk the dry ingredients into the hot milk. Cook for 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly, until thickened.
- Slowly whisk a few spoonfuls of the hot milk mixture into the beaten egg yolks to temper them. Then whisk the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan. Continue cooking for 2 more minutes, whisking constantly, until the pudding thickens further. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour the hot chocolate pudding into the pre-baked pie crust and smooth the top.
- Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Top with dollops or swirls of Cool Whip or whipped cream before slicing.
