Milk Chocolate Ice Cream Pie

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350ºfF).

2. 2

   In a medium saucepan, combine the milk chocolate chips, heavy cream, and whole milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 82°C (180ºfF).

   Tip: Be careful not to boil the mixture.

3. 3

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the sugar, salt, and melted butter until the sugar has dissolved.

4. 4

   Let the mixture cool slightly, then stir in the large eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

   Tip: Make sure the eggs are fully incorporated before adding the next one.

5. 5

   Pour the mixture into a 23cm (9-inch) pie dish and smooth the top.

6. 6

   Bake the pie for 25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly jiggly.

   Tip: Avoid overbaking, as this can cause the pie to crack.

7. 7

   Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.

8. 8

   Once the pie has cooled, stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until they are fully incorporated.

9. 9

   Sprinkle the confectioners' sugar and flaky sea salt over the top of the pie, if desired.
