Detailed Steps for Making Egg Yolk Chocolate Pie

Prepare all the necessary ingredients

Pour butter and milk into a heat-resistant container and heat over a double boiler

Set aside the heated butter mixture

Pour eggs, caster sugar, and syrup into an oil-free and water-free mixing bowl

Whisk over 45-degree hot water until the batter is smooth and glossy, with clear figure-eight patterns that remain visible for 10 seconds

Sift in the low-gluten flour in two batches and fold gently from the bottom up using a spatula

The batter should be smooth without any dry flour particles

Add a small portion of the batter to the melted butter mixture, and mix quickly until well combined

Pour the butter mixture from step 8 into the folded batter, and quickly fold until the butter mixture is thoroughly incorporated into the batter

Pour the prepared batter into a 4-inch heart-shaped mold, filling it about 80-90%

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius, bake at 160 degrees Celsius for about 20 minutes on the middle rack with both top and bottom heat

Let the baked cake base cool on a wire rack

Place all the filling ingredients in a stainless steel melting pot

Melt over 50-degree warm water, stirring until the mixture resembles chocolate sauce

Chill the chocolate sauce in the refrigerator until it reaches a semi-solid state, then transfer it to a piping bag

Make a hole at the bottom of the cake base using a chopstick or spoon

Pipe the chocolate sauce into the hole using the piping bag
