Velvety Chocolate Pie
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 3 egg yolks, beaten
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked
  • 1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary components for the recipe.
2
Combine sugar and egg yolks in a large mixing container, utilizing an electric mixer to blend the ingredients until they achieve a smooth consistency.
3
Incorporate cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt into the mixture until it is thoroughly combined.
4
Gradually add milk to the mixture, stirring gently to avoid any lumps or separation.
5
Pour the resulting mixture into a large saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent any hot spots or scorching, until the mixture reaches a boil and has thickened sufficiently to coat the back of a metal spoon.
6
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in butter until it is fully incorporated. Add vanilla extract to the mixture, allowing it to infuse its flavor.
7
Allow the mixture to cool slightly before proceeding with the next step.
8
Pour the cooled mixture into a prepared pastry shell and refrigerate until set, typically requiring 2 to 4 hours.
9
Finish the pie by topping it with whipped topping and serving.
