Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, and flour. Whisk until thoroughly blended to avoid lumps.
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.
Gradually sift the dry ingredients into the wet mixture while whisking continuously. Whisk until the mixture is fully incorporated and velvety smooth.
Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula if necessary.
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.
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.
Serve slices at room temperature or chilled. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream or a dusting of cocoa powder for extra flair.
