Ingredients
-
1 ½ cups white sugar
-
5 large egg yolks
-
1 cup milk
-
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (such as Hershey's®)
-
5 tablespoons cornstarch
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
2 cups half-and-half
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
-
1 (10 inch) prepared graham cracker crust
Directions
-
Cream sugar and yolks together in a large saucepan. Add milk, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt; whisk until no lumps remain. Add half-and-half and heat over medium heat, whisking constantly until filling is thickened, about 20 minutes.
-
Turn off heat when filling starts to bubble; continue to stir for 1 minute. Remove thickened filling from the warm burner. Add butter and vanilla extract, stirring well until melted and well incorporated. Let filling sit to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
-
Stir filling well and pour into graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Chill, uncovered, in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
