4. Put the pie crust dough right into the tart pan and crimp it into place. Make the dough twice as thick on the bottom and then take a fork and poke airholes there. Put it in the oven for 20 minutes. take teh aking beans out and put the crust back in for another 10 minutes.

5. Add the milk to a pot on medium heat. While that is heating up, mix together the dry ingredients, the sugar, salt and cornstarch.

6. Pre-melt the unsweetened chocolate in the microwave. Add the milk to the dry ingredients and then add the chocolate. Bring the pot to a boil which will take 4-5 minutes. Keep stirring the mixture and let it boil for another minute.

7. Separate the yolks from the eggs using an egg separator. Temper the eggs into the chocolate. Boil mixture for one more minute. Turn the heat off and add the butter amd vanilla.

8. Pour the filling into the pie shell and let it cool down to room temperature for half an hour. Put it in the fridge for another hour and a half and then serve.
