Chocolate Filling

Ingredients:

• 6 tablespoons granulated sugar

• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup half & half

• 5 egg yolks

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 2 square (2 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped

In small saucepan, blend sugar, flour, salt, half & half and egg yolks with wire whip. Stirring constantly, heat over medium heat until mixture is thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and chocolate. Continue stirring until chocolate is melted. Cool quickly. To prevent a skin from forming, brush surface with melted butter. Stir before using.
