Ingredients
For the crust: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (cut into small cubes), and 2-4 tablespoons ice water. For the filling: 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 3 large eggs, 2 cups whole milk, 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter.
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter.
2. To make the crust, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually add 2-4 tablespoons of ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring after each addition until the dough begins to come together.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until it forms a ball. Roll out the dough, using a rolling pin, to an 11-inch circle and fit it into the prepared pie dish. Trim the edges and make a decorative edge with a fork.
4. To make the filling, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the eggs and milk until the mixture is smooth. Place the pan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken. Reduce heat to low and add the chocolate chips, stirring until they are melted and the mixture is thick and creamy. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and butter.
5. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the center is set. Allow to cool completely before serving.
