My Granny’s Cocoa Cream Pie always makes an appearance at holiday gatherings, it’s just one of those special holiday treats that everyone looks forward to! Bonus: this creamy cocoa cream pie is so easy to whip up.

Ingredients

  • ½ c. cocoa
  • 1/2 cup Flour (or 1/4 c. cornstarch)
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 c. sugar
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 2 c. milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 Pre-baked pie crust

Directions

  1. 1

    Mix cocoa, cornstarch, sugar, and salt, then add milk gradually, add in the beaten egg yolks while stirring in a pot over medium to medium-high heat on your stovetop.

  2. 2

    Cook until thick, whisking it until smooth. Don't stop stirring or leave the pot until it's nice and thick like pudding.

  3. 3

    Cream Pies take some time to thicken, so stir for (5-10 minutes or until thickened). Using a heavy bottom pan really helps. Just keep it up until it thickens, add vanilla in after you take the pan off the heat and 1 Tbs of butter. Pour into a pre-baked pie shell. Put in the fridge to chill, and add whipped cream if you like. Or use the leftover egg whites for a meringue topping! Watch the video if you are having any trouble.
