Place the chopped chocolate, butter, and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl; set aside. In a medium sauce pan whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, espresso, and salt. Whisk ¼ cup cold heavy whipping cream until the mixture is smooth, with no lumps. Repeat with another ¼ cup of the cream. Whisk in the egg yolks. Place the saucepan over the medium heat, and gradually whisk in the remaining cream and buttermilk. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly as the mixture thickens; boil for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the mixture over the chocolate and butter. Whisk until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Pass the filling through a chinois into a bowl to remove any lumps. Place plastic wrap on the surface to prevent a skin from forming and chill thoroughly. Pour 1/3 of the chocolate filling in the bottom of prepared pie crust.
