Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
½ c. cocoa
¼ cup cornstarch or ½ cup all purpose plain flour
3 egg yolks
1 c. sugar
¼ tsp. salt
2 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 Pre-baked pie crust

*Note:
I use three Tbs of flour in place of cornstarch and one can of Pet milk diluted with one can of water in place of milk.This really makes it rich and delicious!
Directions:
Directions:
1. Mix cocoa, cornstarch, beaten egg yolks; then sugar and salt, and add milk gradually, while stirring in a pot over medhigh heat on your stovetop.

2. Cook until thick, whisking it until smooth.

3. Cream Pies take some time to thicken, so stir for (10-15 min). Using a heavy bottom pan really helps. Just keep it up
until it thickens, add vanilla in after you take the pan off the heat. Pour into a pre-baked pie shell. Put in the fridge to
chill, add whipped cream if you like. Or use the leftover egg whites for a meringue topping!

Recipe Notes:

*If making a deep dish pie you may want to double the recipe to fill it to the top. But, use your own discretion and
experiment!
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Our family almost always had a version of chocolate pie as a dessert option. This is an old-fashion recipe that is not only delicious but also easy and quick to make. It's always a family pleaser. Of course, we always had to top it with whipped cream!
