Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter together until completely combined. Press tightly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
-
Pre-bake crust for 8 minutes.
-
Whisk the egg yolks together in a bowl. Set aside.
-
Whisk the cold water and gelatin together in a medium saucepan. Allow to sit for 2 minutes to slightly thicken, then turn the stove on to medium-low heat and place the saucepan on top.
-
Whisk in the milk, sugar, and flour. Whisk aggressively to dissolve the sugar, then slowly whisk as the mixture heats.
-
When the mixture is warm and slowly simmering, slowly drizzle about ¼ cup of it into the beaten egg yolks while whisking it all together. Once the ¼ cup is added, very slowly pour the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan. Whisk it all together as the mixture begins to thicken.
-
Once bubbles begin to burst at the surface, whisk in the chopped chocolate until combined. Whisk for about 1 more minute as the pudding continues to thicken and bubble.
-
Remove the pudding from heat. If there are lumps, strain the pudding through a fine sieve, if desired.
-
Pour the pudding into the prepared pie crust. Immediately cover the top of the pudding with clear plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding.
-
Allow the pudding pie to cool for 1 hour at room temperature before putting into the refrigerator to chill.
-
Refrigerate for 4 hours and up to 24 hours until the pudding has completely set.
-
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla on medium-high speed for about 5 minutes, until stiff peaks form.
-
Remove the plastic wrap from the chilled pie and spread or pipe the whipped cream on top.
-
Garnish with desired toppings, slice to serve, and enjoy!
