Double Chocolate Silk Pie

(From Mrs. Fields, I Love Chocolate, modified instructions)

1 9" pie shell (baked or crumb)

1 ½ c. cream ¼ c. sugar

5 egg yolks pinch salt

10 oz. good semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 ½ t. real vanilla extra

In a glass measuring cup or bowl, scald cream and sugar in microwave (heat, stopping to stir every 30 sec or so, until it is just about boiling.) Beat yolks in a microwave proof bowl. Slowing add the hot cream mixture, while mixing, into the yolks. Mix well. Microwave 30 sec at a time, stirring in between, until mixture bubbles and thickens. Mix in chocolate chips. Wait about 5 minutes. Mix again. Add vanilla and mix until smooth. Pour into pie shell. Cover with plastic wrap (to prevent skin from forming) and chill several hours or overnight.
