Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup sugar (divided)
3 Tbsp + 1 tsp cornstarch
3 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract
5 Tbsp Kahlua
1 graham cracker crust, 9″ (you can make your own, but I was lazy and used a store-bought one)

Steps:

Place the chocolate chips in a medium mixing bowl. In a medium sauce pan, pour in the milk, cream, and 1/4 cup of the sugar. Bring to a boil. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and the other 1/2 cup of the sugar. In another small bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they begin to lighten in color. Add in the cornstarch mixture and vanilla and whisk until well-combined. Once the milk mixture has boiled, pour 1/3 of it into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Whisk in another 1/3 of the milk, and then pour the egg mixture into the sauce pan with the remaining milk. Reduce the heat and whisk until the mixture thickens, and then cook for a few minutes longer before turning off the heat. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into the bowl of chocolate. Whisk the mixture until the chocolate melts. Add the Kahlua and whisk until well-combined. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes. Pour the filling into the crust, and then place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the chocolate. Chill at least 4 hours before serving.
