Jennifer's Signature Chocolate Cream Pie {Jennifer's Recipe}

Pin It

Chocolate cream pie has been one of my favorites for as long as I can remember. In my family growing up, Chocolate Cream Pies were made for nearly every get-together, and when it comes to making a chocolate cream pie today, my daughter Jennifer is the one who the family wants to make it.  This is a tried and true recipe that I have passed down to Jennifer that is so quick and easy to make. It is exactly what you are looking for in a rich and intense chocolate flavored pie that is paired with a sweetened whipped cream topping.

Jennifer's Signature Chocolate Cream Pie

1 9" pie crust, baked and cooled

3 large eggs yokes

1 1/2 cups whole milk

1 cup sugar

2 tablespoons flour

2 tablespoons corn starch

3 tablespoons cocoa

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix egg yokes and milk with wire whisk until blended. Mix dry ingredients and add to milk-egg mixture. Cook in microwave on Full Power 6-8 minutes stirring well at 2 minute intervals until thickened. Add butter and vanilla stirring well. Pour pie filling immediately in baked pie crust. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate 1 hour before topping with sweetened whipped cream.

Sweetened Whipped Cream

2 cups cold heavy cream

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Whip cream on medium-high speed using a hand-held or stand mixer until almost stiff. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla and whip until stiff.

Note:  Depending on how chocolaty you like your pie, I use heaping tablespoons of cocoa.  My daughter doesn't put the vanilla in her whipped cream for this recipe.
