- 1 and 1/2 C. sugar
- 1/2 tesp. salt
- 2 and 1/2 Tbsp. corn starch
- 1 Tbsp. flour
- 4 Tbsp. cocoa powder
- 3 C. milk
- 3 egg yolks, beaten (you can save the whites to make meringue if you want)
- 1/4 C. butter
- 1/2 tesp. vanilla
- baked pie crust or graham cracker crust
- cool whip for topping (optional)
Mix sugar, salt, corn starch, flour and cocoa together in a large sauce pan. Beat together the egg yolks and milk. Place pan over medium-high heat then whisk wet ingredients in with dry ingredients.
Bring to simmer and whisk continually until it thickens. (Don't walk away or it will burn!) It's done when it reaches the consistency of thick pudding. Do not overcook or the cornstarch will turn back to liquid.
Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla.
Cool completely before pouring into pie crust. Yes, you must wait until its completely cool.
*You can just bake a ready made store bought pie crust. I think they're just as good as homemade.
