Ingredients

Ingredients	Quantity
Pie Crust	1 (9-inch) frozen pie crust, thawed
Filling	1 cup granulated sugar
	1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
	1/4 cup all-purpose flour
	1/4 teaspoon salt
	1 cup milk
	1/2 cup heavy cream
	2 large eggs
	1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping	1 cup heavy whipping cream
	2 tablespoons powdered sugar
	1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Barbecue Sauce	1/4 cup your favorite barbecue sauce

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Blind-bake the thawed pie crust for 10-15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Prepare the Filling

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Gradually add the milk and heavy cream, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Slowly pour the hot chocolate mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes or until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust.

Bake the Pie

Bake the pie for 20-25 minutes or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack.

Prepare the Topping

In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cooled pie.

Add the Barbecue Twist

Drizzle the barbecue sauce over the whipped cream, creating a swirling pattern. For an extra smoky touch, you can even torch the sauce lightly with a kitchen torch.

Serve and Enjoy

Chill the pie for at least 1 hour before serving. Slice, serve, and enjoy the perfect balance of smoky and sweet in every bite. This recipe serves 8-10 people.
