A delightful and creamy chocolate pie sweetened with stevia, perfect for those looking for a sugar-free dessert option.
Combine the cocoa powder, stevia, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan.
Ensure the dry ingredients are well combined to avoid lumps in the mixture.
Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
Add the milk slowly while whisking to prevent clumps from forming.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and starts to boil.
Keep stirring to avoid the mixture sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Adding vanilla after cooking preserves its delicate flavor.
Pour the mixture into the pre-baked pie crust and smooth the top.
Ensure the filling is evenly distributed for a uniform pie.
Refrigerate the pie until set, about 2 hours.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming on the surface.
Top with whipped cream before serving.
Use a piping bag for a decorative whipped cream topping.
Slice and serve the pie chilled.
Serve with a garnish of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for added flair.
