    This is my Favorite Cream Pie Recipe. Everyone at work Loves it but I always Lose the paper I have it written on... So I am Finally submitting this So for once I won't Lose it. It can go into a Chocolate Graham crumb crust or a normal crust.

    Ingredients

    • 1 Pie crust of choice.
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    • 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
    • 2 cups half-and-half
    • 3 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
    • 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped
    • 1/2 cup plus 1 Tbsp. sugar
    • 1/4 cup cornstarch
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 4 large egg yolks
    • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

    Directions

    1. Make filling: In a small cup, combine vanilla and espresso powder until coffee has dissolved. Mix 1 cup half-and-half with both chocolates in a saucepan and place on stove over medium-low heat. Cook, whisking often, until chocolates have melted and mixture is hot, about 5 minutes (it may look grainy). In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, cornstarch and salt. Pour remaining cup of half-and-half into sugar mixture and whisk until no lumps remain. Whisk in yolks.
    2. While whisking cornstarch mixture constantly, slowly pour in hot chocolate mixture. When both mixtures are combined, pour back into saucepan, place on stove over medium-low heat and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened and beginning to boil, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour hot pudding into a clean medium bowl, and stir in butter and reserved vanilla-coffee mixture. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing plastic directly onto surface. Let pudding cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then pour into pie shell, Place in the fridge for 3 hours or More
