Chocolate Chess Pie

Chocolate Chess Pie

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 5 tablespoons cocoa powder (I like Ghirardelli best)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup evaporated milk
• 3 large eggs, room temperature
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine sugar, cocoa, flour, and salt and set aside.
3. Beat together eggs, butter, milk, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
4. Add the sugar mixture mixing well.
5. Pour into pie shell.
6. Bake for 45-50 minutes. At 25 minutes, crust may need to be covered to avoid over browning.
7. Pie is done when a knife is inserted in the center and comes out clean.
8. Cool completely before slicing.

Use a refrigerated pie crust for a super quick and easy pie. Serve with a whipped cream and berries, if desired.
