Chocolate Pie

Chocolate Pie 

 

Serves 8

Single pie crust

Prepare a single baked pie crust and set aside to cool.

 

¼  cup milk

3 Tbsp cornstarch

1/3 cup cocoa

2/3 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla

 

Mix together with a wire whip or fork until the cornstarch is dissolved.

2 egg yolks

 

Add the egg yolks and beat well.

1 ¾ cups milk

 

Heat the milk in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. When the milk is warm (not boiling), add the egg mixture while quickly stirring with a wire whip. Continue to stir and cook until the pudding becomes very thick. Remove from the heat and pour into the baked pie crust. Cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours.

 

Serve with whipped cream.

 

Jenny’s favorite Christmas treat is the chocolate pie. Ask her about the year I forgot to add the sugar!
