For the Chocolate Drizzle:
1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips


Directions

Crust

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium bowl combine the chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until all the crumbs are coated in butter.

Pour the crumb mixture into a 9 inch springform pan and press evenly into the pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then allow to cool completely.

Chocolate filling:

In a medium sauce pan combine the milk, sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and egg yolk. Whisk until very well incorporated then cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it begins to simmer and thicken.

Remove from the heat and add the vanilla, butter and dark chocolate chips and stir until melted.

Pour through a strainer into a separate bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to cool slightly.

Vanilla filling:

In a medium sauce pan combine the milk, sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolk. Whisk until very well incorporated then cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it begins to simmer and thicken.

Remove from the heat and add the vanilla and butter and stir until melted.

Pour through a strainer into a separate bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to cool slightly.

To assemble:

Pour half of the chocolate filling into the prepared crust.

Carefully spread it so it is smooth on the crust.

Gently pour the vanilla filling on and smooth out.

Now using a spatula, dollop the remain half of the chocolate filler sporadically on top of the white filler and gently but it in and swirl a little.

Put a plastic covering over the entire springform pan and let the pie chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours, or overnight.

Apply the chocolate drizzle.

Chocolate Drizzle:

Put the chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over medium heat and melt, or melt in the microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring in between.

Scrape melted chocolate into a plastic baggie and snip a tiny piece off the corner.

Drizzle the melted chocolate over the pie.

Slice and serve.
