How to make Granny’s Cocoa Cream Pie

Ingredients:

• Unsweetened Cocoa; I used 1/2 cup.

• A 9“ Pre-baked pie crust.

METHOD OF WORK:

Step 1:

I started by combining the cocoa powder, with cornstarch (or flour), and whisked egg yolks in a medium mixing bowl; I added the sugar and salt, and I poured in the milk gradually. stirring continuously in a saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2:

I simmered until the sauce was rich and creamy, whisking constantly, and I added in the vanilla extract, stirring frequently for at least 10 to 15 minutes, as cream pies need time to thicken.

NOTE:

When you’re preparing something that calls for hard bottom baking, using a heavy, skillet to give you better results.

Step 3:

I keep stirring until the mixture thickened, then I poured everything into the pre-baked pie crust.

Step 4:

After that, I chilled in the refrigerator for several hours before serving.

Step 5:

At this stage, I garnished with whipped cream, cold whipping cream, or baked meringue, you can use what you like!!!
