MY GRANNY’S COCOA CREAM PIE

MY GRANNY’S COCOA CREAM PIE
It’s simple and tasty. This recipe is a lovely quick desert often used during the 30’s and 40’s. You can use one and a half the recipe for a deep dish pie. These are gorgeous deep dish pie pans.

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
  1. 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.
  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!
