Ingredients

• 1 piece Pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups Evaporated milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish if it's not already in one, ensuring it is evenly pressed against the sides and bottom. Crimp or trim the edges as desired.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, and flour. Whisk until thoroughly blended to avoid lumps.

Step 3

In a separate large mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the evaporated milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt to the eggs and whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually sift the dry ingredients into the wet mixture while whisking continuously. Whisk until the mixture is fully incorporated and velvety smooth.

Step 5

Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula if necessary.

Step 6

Carefully transfer the pie to the preheated oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly when the pie pan is gently shaken.

Step 7

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. The filling will continue to set as it cools, achieving a creamy, custard-like texture.

Step 8

Serve slices at room temperature or chilled. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream or a dusting of cocoa powder for extra flair.
