Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3 units large eggs
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch pinch of salt
• 1 9-inch crust pre-baked pie crust
• 1 cup whipped cream (optional)
• 2 tablespoons chocolate shavings (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, flour, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then slowly whisk in the milk and heavy cream until combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the milk mixture to the saucepan with the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

Step 5

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it is thickened and bubbling (about 8-10 minutes).

Step 6

Remove from heat and immediately stir in the butter and vanilla extract until fully melted and smooth.

Step 7

Pour the chocolate filling into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.

Step 10

Serve chilled with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings if desired. Enjoy!
