INSTRUCTIONS
Directions: Place vanilla wafers in a food processor and blend until fine crumbs form. Place the crumbs in a mixing bowl and using your hands, knead in the softened butter until well combined and crumbly. Press the mixture onto the bottom and sides of a glass pie plate. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. For the filling - In a heavy saucepan mix together the cornstarch, salt, sugar, milk and chopped chocolate. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly until the chocolate melts and the mixture thickens, about 4-5 minutes. Next, stir a small amount of the hot chocolate mixture into the egg yolks. Slowly pour the egg mixture back into the remaining chocolate mixture, stirring constantly. Place back on the stove for 2 minutes more. Do not boil or it will curdle. Remove from heat. Finally, stir in the vanilla and pour filling into the pie crust. Chill well. To prevent a skin from forming as the filling cools, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the hot filling. Garnish with whipped cream and nuts. Converted by MC_Buster. Converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
