Xocai Healthy Chocolate Pie Recipe

In a saucepan, combine the 2 tablespoons butter, 1/2 cup cane sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 2/3 cup milk, and 2 eggs. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency, or until it's thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Take the saucepan off the heat and let the custard cool slightly for a few minutes. Stir in the 1/2 cup chocolate and 1 teaspoon vanilla until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Pour the warm filling into the graham cracker crust and transfer to the refrigerator to chill until firmly set.

Once the pie is fully chilled, slice and serve. Top each piece with a dollop of whipped cream and a fresh strawberry or other fruit, if you like.

For a different presentation, you can skip the pie crust entirely and pour the filling into individual custard cups before chilling. A sprinkle of chopped nuts also works well if you want to add some crunch.
