 Categories: Pies, Pastry, Chocolate, Dairy
      Yield: 6 servings
 
  1 1/2 c  A-P flour; more for dusting
      1 ts Kosher salt
      7 tb Unsalted butter
    1/4 c  Ice-cold water
      1 c  Sugar
    1/3 c  Cornstarch
    1/2 ts Salt
      4    Egg yolks
      3 c  Milk
      2 oz Unsweetened chocolate;
           - chopped, plus shaved for
           - garnish
      3 ts Vanilla extract
      1 c  Heavy cream
 
  Pulse flour, salt, and butter in a food processor into
  pea-size crumbles. Add water; pulse until dough comes
  together. Roll dough into a disk and wrap in plastic
  wrap; chill 1 hour.
  
  On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12"
  round. Fit into a 9" pie plate. Trim edges and crimp;
  chill for 30 minutes.
  
  Set oven @ 375 F/190 C.
  
  Using a fork, prick the dough all over. Line dough with
  parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried
  beans; bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Remove paper
  and weights and bake until cooked through, about 5
  minutes more; let cool.
  
  Beat sugar, cornstarch, salt, and egg yolks in a bowl
  and set aside. Heat milk over medium-high heat until
  bubbles form around the edge. Slowly add in egg mixture,
  whisking constantly until thick, 4 - 5 minutes. Remove
  from heat and add in chocolate and vanilla; stir until
  chocolate has melted and incorporated. Pour into
  prepared pie shell and cover with plastic wrap directly
  on the surface; refrigerate until firm, 4 - 6 hours.
  
  Whip cream until stiff peaks form. Remove plastic wrap
  from pie and cover with whipped cream and chocolate
  shavings.
