The Chocolate Custard that will be in Heaven

I am breaking from "the back story" to share the recipe for the Chocolate Custard Pie that Abby says will be in heaven. Thanks to Southern Living for the recipe - It is so yummy and easy...

Chocolate Custard Pie
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 tsp salt
4 egg yolks
3 cups milk
2 (4 oz.) bars bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
2 tsp vanilla

Bring first 6 ingredients to a boil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat (about 15 minutes), whisking constantly; boil, whisking constantly, 1 minute or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Pour custard into baked pie crust (according to package directions for an unbaked pie). Place plastic wrap directly on surface of custard; chill 2 hours. Top with sweetened whipped cream and, if desired, chocolate curls.

Or, you can just eat it as custard and forget the pie crust - YUM!
Enjoy.
