Chocolate Cream Pie

By

Chocolate-Cream-Pie
Chocolate pie is my favorite dessert and this is my all-time favorite chocolate pie. I always make this pie for Thanksgiving and Christmas, then occasionally throughout the year.  This pie has been known to be our birthday dessert as well. The recipe is so easy to memorize that this is my go-to dessert for company or when I need to take something special somewhere. I found the recipe at Food.com. Try it, you’ll love it! Plus, homemade chocolate pie is so delicious because you can’t beat the flavor of homemade chocolate pudding.

Ingredients:

  • 1 2⁄3 cups water
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 5 tablespoons cocoa
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 egg yolks , beaten
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 (9 inch) baked pastry shells (I used an Oreo Cookie crumb crust!)
  • 1 Tub of whipped cream

Directions:

  1. In a medium sauce pan, WITHOUT heat, mix water and cornstarch and cocoa until smooth.
  2. Sir in Eagle Brand milk and beaten egg yolks.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick in saucepan.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons butter.
  5. Add vanilla.
  6. Cool slightly (stirring occasionally).
  7. Pour into pie shell.
  8. Top with whipped cream after chilling pie.

This pie filling started getting lumpy towards the end when it’s time to add the butter and vanilla, but when you eat it, it won’t be lumpy at all, just extreme goodness! 🙂

    Love chocolate and a pie or cake makes it better. Love this recipe so thanks for sharing. This looks easy to make and doesn’t take that long. Love the Oreo crust.

    The best part about this recipe is the use of a pre-made shell. The crust is the most time consuming part, so the pre-made shells cut the time down considerably. We coincidentally bought several shells over Christmas when a local grocer had a huge sale on them.
