Old Fashioned Homemade Chocolate Pie

Old Fashioned Homemade Chocolate Pie

Ingredients

---

• 1-1/4 cup of sugar
• 1/2 cup of plain flour
• 1/4 cup of cocoa
• dash of salt
• 4 egg yolks
• 2 cups of milk
• 1/4 cup of butter
• 1 tsp of vanilla
• 1-9" pastry shell baked

How to Make It

• Bake pie crust until golden
• Combine first 4 ingredients in a sauce pan; set aside.
• Combine milk and egg yolks.
• Stir milk and egg yolks into mixture; add butter.
• Cook over medium heat, and stir constantly until mix thickens and boils.
• Remove from heat; stir in vanilla; spoon into pastry shell.
• You can put a meringue on top if you want, but this is only optional using the egg whites from eggs used for pie. Or if you are like me and you don't like meringue, you can make homemade whip cream with heavy whipping cream for the top.

Ive been on the search for a while for a really good recipe for chocolate pie...Ive tried a few that were alright...but this pie was delicious..perfect in every way.

I'll definitely be making this for the holidays.
