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!
