 +====== Chocolate Pie ======
 +I think this is a nytimes recipe that someone transcribed on reddit, or something like that. In any case this is a re-transcription of a screenshot of two reddit comments. Delicious pie for when I'm craving that old silk instant chocolate pie box mix from my childhood.
  
 +===== Ingredients =====
 +Crust:
 +  * 2c / 270g oreo crumbs (about 24 oreos, but I prefer to import no name chocolate crumbs from canada)
 +  * 4T / 57g butter, melted
 +  * 1/2 t kosher salt
 +
 +Custard:
 +  * 1/2 c / 100g sugar
 +  * 3T cornstarch
 +  * 2T cocoa powder
 +  * 3/4 t kosher salt
 +  * 3c / 720mL whole milk
 +  * 6 egg yolks
 +  * 8oz / 225g semisweet bar chocolate, finely chopped
 +  * 2T butter, cubed
 +  * 1t vanilla
 +
 +Topping:
 +  * 1c / 240mL heavy cream
 +  * 1T powdered sugar
 +  * crumb garnish
 +
 +===== Directions =====
 +  - heat oven to 350F and turn oreos to crumbs, if needed
 +  - mix butter into crumbs until evenly moistened (food processor helps, especially if making the crumbs yourself)
 +  - press crumbs into bottom and sides of 9" pie dish, bake until set, about 12min, cool
 +  - prepare a fine mesh sieve over a medium bowl
 +  - in a medium saucepan, whisk sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt
 +  - pour in a little milk and which to smooth paste, add remaining milk gradually to mix evenly
 +  - whisk in egg yolks
 +  - cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens and comes to a low boil, about 8-9min
 +  - cook and stir 1min more then pour through sieve, discard any solids
 +  - stir in chocolate, butter, and vanilla, let stand 1min to melt, then stir until smooth
 +  - pour custard into crust, let cool slightly, cover surface with plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 6hr
 +  - to serve, whip cream and powdered sugar to soft peaks and top pie
