- 1 9-oz. package graham crackers (about 2 1/4 cups)
- 3 cups whole milk
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons malt powder
- 4 egg yolks
- 4 oz. semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped

Instructions
1. Heat oven to 375°. Melt butter in a 9" glass pie plate, add sugar and cracker crumbs, mix well. Press mixture into sides and bottom of pie plate. Bake until set, about 15 minutes; let cool.
2. Heat milk in a 4-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat until it just begins to simmer; remove pan from heat. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch and malt powder; add egg yolks and whisk until smooth. Drizzle milk mixture into egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly, until smooth. Return mixture to saucepan; heat over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until mixture is very thick, 3–4 minutes. Remove pan from heat and add chocolate, whisking until smooth; stir in vanilla. Let cool. Pour chocolate mixture into pie crust.
