Description

Bring back the old memories of mom or grandma in the kitchen making your favorite chocolate cream pie with this recipe. You probably have most of the ingredients in your kitchen already. It's easy and so good!

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

1. Mix cocoa, cornstarch, beaten egg yolks; sugar and salt, then add milk gradually, while stirring in a heavy bottom pan over med-high heat.
2. Cook until it thickens, beating it smooth. Cream pies take some time to thicken, so stir, stir, stir (10-15 min).
3. 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.
