Description

A rich, deeply chocolatey custard pie made from scratch — sugar, cocoa, flour, evaporated milk, vanilla, egg yolks, and butter heated in a saucepan until the butter melts and the filling comes together, then poured into an unbaked shell and baked until firm. Topped with whipped cream and served cold. A Southern chocolate pie the way it should be.

2 Cups Sugar
5 Tbsp. Cocoa

Note

Stir constantly while heating the filling to prevent scorching on the bottom of the pan. The filling only needs to heat until the butter melts — it finishes cooking in the oven.
