INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup cocoa
• 1/4 cup cornstarch or arrowroot powder (or 1/2 cup all purpose flour)
• 3 egg yolks
• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• Pre-baked pie shell

DIRECTIONS

• Mix cocoa, cornstarch, beaten egg yolks; sugar and salt, then add milk gradually, while stirring in a pot over medium-high heat. Cook until thick, beating it smooth.
• Cream pies take some time to thicken, so stir... and stir (10-15 min). Using a heavy bottom pan really helps. Just keep it up until it thickens.
• Pour into a pre-baked pie shell. Put in the fridge to chill, add whipped cream if you like, or use the left over egg whites for a meringue topping!
