Chocolate Pie

Ingredients

• •1 9-inch unbaked pie crust
• •2/3 cup cocoa powder
• •1 1/2 cups sugar
• •1/4 cup cornstarch
• •1/2 teaspoon salt
• •3 cups whole milk
• •4 tablespoons butter
• •1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• •1 cup heavy whipping cream
• •2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Directions

1. 1Preheat oven to 350°F and bake the pie crust for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden.
2. 2In a saucepan, whisk together cocoa powder, sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
3. 3Gradually stir in milk until smooth, then cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil (about 8-10 minutes).
4. 4Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. 5Pour the chocolate filling into the pre-baked crust and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
6. 6Before serving, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form and top each slice with whipped cream.

💡 Chocolate pie filling should bubble for a full moment after thickening so cornstarch loses its raw taste before the custard goes into the crust.
