Ingredients
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cup milk
3 large egg yolks
2 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pre-baked pie crust
Instructions
1. Begin by sifting the dry ingredients – the sugar, cocoa powder, flour, and salt – together in a medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in the milk and egg yolks, ensuring a smooth and lump-free mixture.
2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture continuously until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Once the filling has reached a smooth, pudding-like consistency, remove it from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the warm chocolate filling into the pre-baked pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Allow the pie to cool completely before refrigerating it for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is set.
Notes
Choose high-quality, unsweetened cocoa powder for the richest chocolate flavor. Be cautious not to overcook the filling to avoid a grainy texture. The pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
