Ingredients

½ c. cocoa
¼ c. cornstarch/or arrowroot powder (or ½ c. all purpose flour)
3 egg yolks
1 ½ c. sugar
¼ t. salt
2 c. milk
1 t. vanilla
pie shell, pre-baked

Steps

Mix cocoa, cornstarch, beaten egg yolks; sugar and salt, then add milk gradually, while stirring in a heavy bottom pan over med-high heat.
Cook until it thickens, beating it smooth. Cream pies take some time to thicken, so stir, stir, stir (10-15 min).
Pour into a pre-baked pie shell. Put in the fridge to chill, add whipped cream if you like, or use the left over egg whites for a meringue topping.
