Grandma’s Easy Chocolate Pie with Homemade Pie Crust

Grandma’s Chocolate Pie Filling

Ingredients

• ½ cup cocoa powder
• ¼ cup cornstarch
• 3 egg yolks, beaten
• 1½ cups sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a saucepan, mix together the cocoa powder, cornstarch, sugar, and salt until evenly blended.
2. Add Egg Yolks: Stir in the beaten egg yolks, mixing well to form a smooth paste.
3. Add Milk Gradually: Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
4. Cook the Filling: Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and cook, stirring continuously. As the mixture heats, it will gradually thicken. Continue cooking until smooth, glossy, and pudding-thick.
5. Finish with Vanilla: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
6. Fill the Crust: Pour the hot chocolate filling into the pre-baked pie shell, smoothing the top.
7. Chill: Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill until fully set, at least a few hours.
