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.
