Start with the crust. Mix the cookies and icing sugar in a bowl.

In a saucepan mix the sugar, orange zest, cornstarch and salt.

Add the milk and yolks and stir with a whisk.

Heat the saucepan in medium heat, for 6-8 minutes, while constantly stirring. 

When it starts thickening and letting out small bubbles, remove from heat.

Add the chocolate and butter and stir, until you get a smooth chocolate mixture.

Pour the filling into the crust and put in the fridge for at least 3 hours before serving.

Serve the chocolate pie with some whipped cream and a bit of orange zest.
