How Do I Make Old Fashioned Chocolate Pie?

Here’s the simple steps you’ll follow to make this Pie (scroll down for the full recipe):

 

• Prepare a crust, by making your own, using a graham cracker crust, or using a frozen pie crust.
• In a medium bowl, place the flour, cocoa, and the sugar, then take a whisk and whisk them together removing any lumps.
• Then I like to take this mixture and place it into my double boiler pan.
• Next you will add the egg yolks only.
• Place the double boiler over medium heat.
• Add 1/2 of the milk to the mixture and stir it well.
• Then add the rest of the milk, stirring constantly and cooking the mixture over medium heat until it becomes thick. This step can take up to 15-20 minutes depending on your stove.
• When the mixture has thickened, remove it from the heat and add the butter and the vanilla extract. Incorporate them in very well.
• Place the mixture into your pie crust that is completely cooled, and cover with plastic wrap.
• Allow the mixture to cool for at least 6 hours, or over night.
• Garnish your pie with shaved chocolate, a sprinkle of cocoa, whipped cream or whipped topping.

 

 

 

 

Why Did My Chocolate Pie Turn Out Runny?

 

• The most likely reason is that you didn’t cook the filling long enough.
• Also, make sure that you measure the correct amount of flour to add to the filling.

 

 

How Do I Know When My Chocolate Pie Is Done?

 

• After the filling begins to thicken in the pan, let it cook a little more and then remove it from the pan, as it will be done at this point.
• It will also thicken a little more as it cools.

 

 

 

 

Variations for Old Fashioned Chocolate Pie:

 

• I like to use a graham cracker crust or a regular pie crust, however if you are a huge chocolate fan, use an Oreo crust and you will love it.
• Garnish with shaved chocolate, mini chocolate chips, whipped cream or whipped topping, sprinkles of cocoa powder.
