Ingredients

Cost per serving $1.23 view details
  • 1-2/3 cups water
  • 5 tablespoons sweetened cocoa powder, such as Ghiradelli
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 egg yolks, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 9-inch pie shell, prebaked plain or graham cracker
  • Whipped cream (or if it’s not too humid, you can top with meringue)
  • Shaved chocolate to sprinkle on top, for looks

Directions

  1. In a medium sized, cool saucepan, mix water, cocoa, and cornstarch with a whisk until all the lumps are gone, making a paste. Stir in condensed milk and egg yolks. Heat to just under a boil and stir until it’s thick.
  2. Reduce heat to low and stir in butter. Add in your good vanilla, and keep stirring well. Turn off the heat and let it cool some. Pour into a prebaked pie shell, storebought if that’s how you do things.
  3. Let the pie set-up in a cool spot, like a plug-in refrigerator, covering with wax paper so you don’t get a skin. Dollop cream on top or top with meringue.
  4. Yield: 1 9 inch pie, 6-8 servings

    This pie is fun and easy to make! It is also very tasty; however, be prepared, it is very rich also, for those with sugar restrictions.
    I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
