Equipment
- 9" pie pan
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup evaporated milk
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 large eggs room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- In a 9" pie pan: roll out the crust, place it in the pan and shape the edges with your fingers. Place parchment paper on top. Then, add pie weights or dried beans (2 lbs) atop of the parchment paper. Bake the crust for 15 minutes. Remove the parchment paper and the pie weight/beans. Let cool for 15 minutes (see video for reference).
- In a large bowl: add sugar, eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, salt and mix well. Add melted butter and continue to mix. Use a sifter to sift the cocoa powder (this will prevent lumps and will give you a smooth filling). Stir everything together until well combined.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the pie shell.
- Bake the pie for 40 - 45 minutes or until the filling edges look set and the center is slightly jiggly. Cover the crust with aluminum foil if it begins to brown too quickly. Cool for at least 4 hours before serving.
