How to make Chocolate pudding pie

1. Whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, and cornflour in a large saucepan until combined.

2. Add the eggs and egg yolks, then whisk vigorously, ensuring you reach the corners of the pan, until the mixture is smooth.

3. Whisk in the milk, vanilla extract, and salt.

4. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer, whisking often and making sure to reach the corners of the pan, for 8–10 minutes until the mixture is bubbling and thickened.

5. Reduce the heat and continue to simmer, whisking constantly, for a further 3 minutes.

6. Allow the pudding to cool for 5 minutes, whisking every minute to maintain a smooth texture.

7. Add the chocolate to the pudding and whisk until melted and fully incorporated.

8. Scrape the filling into the pie crust and smooth the surface. Chill in the fridge until cold and set, for at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.

9. Stir the gelatine and 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl. Let it sit until solidified, which should take about 5 minutes.

10. Microwave the gelatine in 5-second intervals until melted, or place the bowl in very hot water until melted.

11. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl until soft peaks form.

12. Add the melted gelatine and continue to beat until medium peaks form.

13. Spoon the whipped cream over the filling, swirling as desired.

14. Chill until set, which will take about 1 hour. Dust with cocoa powder if desired before serving.

15. Do Ahead: The pie can be made up to 3 days in advance. Keep it chilled until serving.
