total timeIngredients
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons corn starch
2 large eggs, beaten
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 (5-ounce) can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust* (homemade or store-bought is fine) ((see note))
whipped cream, if desired
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and corn starch. Add in the beaten eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla. Stir well to combine.
Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie shell being cautious not to over-fill. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until a crust has formed completely across the top of the pie and is mostly set. There will still be some jiggle to the pie. Allow to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will allow it to set even more. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
