Straightforward Chocolate Pie at Home

This straightforward chocolate pie is so rich and chocolaty. Serve with a dollop of kitchen-made whipped cream on top and shaved chocolate with a side of coffee.

You know how that old saying goes straightforward as pie?

Well this is the pie they were talking about! It truly takes minutes to prepare, maybe a few more for those making a scratch pie crust.

Either way this chocolate pie is where it’s at!!

For this Unfussy Chocolate Pie Gather:

• pie dough
• unsweetened cocoa powder
• granulated sugar
• eggs
• evaporated milk

Roll your pie dough to fit a standard 8 or 9-inch pie dish. Trim of any excess dough, crimp the edges and use a fork to prick the bottom of your pie crust. Refrigerate until ready to bake.

Next, in a mixing bowl, add 3-1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder with 1-1/4 cups granulated sugar.

Whisk to combine.

Crack in two large eggs.

And pour in 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk.

Whisk to combine. You can also do all of this in a food processor for a especially silky pie.

Pour the chocolate pie filling into the chilled pie crust.

Bake on the middle rack of your preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the batter sets and there’s a thin crust on top.
