Notes
For best results, ensure that you constantly stir the chocolate mixture while cooking to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan. If you prefer a richer flavor, you can substitute half of the milk with cream. Serve your Old-Fashioned Chocolate Pie with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
