Chocolate Pie

This is a favorite of my family.  This recipe is fabulous for milk-free families.  Be sure to check your chocolate chip ingredients.  They typically have milk in them however, dairy-free chocolate chips are readily available. 

Ingredients
2 cups soy milk
3 yolks
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
Pinch salt
1 ready to use shortbread pie crust


Directions
In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together the milk, yolks and vanilla. Stir in the sugar, cornstarch, chocolate and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly. Boil for 1 minute, then immediately remove from heat. Mixture should be very thick!  Pour the pudding into the crust. Cover and chill for 3 hours, until set.

Top with a dollop of whipped cream (or dairy-free topping) and enjoy!
