MY GRANNY’S COCOA CREAM PIE
This creamy cocoa cream pie is so easy to whip up!
Ingredients
- ½ c. cocoa
- ¼ cup cornstarch or ½ c. all purpose flour
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 ½ c. sugar
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 2 c. milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Instructions
- Mix cocoa, cornstarch, beaten egg yolks; then sugar and salt, and add milk gradually, while stirring in a pot over med-high heat on your stovetop.
- Cook until thick, whisking it until smooth.
- 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!
