Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- Whisk
- Measuring Cups & Spoons
- Saucepan & Spatula
- Pie Dish
- Cooling Rack
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs beaten
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- If using semi-sweet chocolate, melt it in the microwave or over a double boiler. Allow it to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder (or melted chocolate), and cornmeal (or flour).
- To the dry mixture, add the melted butter and stir until combined. Gradually whisk in the eggs, followed by the milk, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Stir everything together until well mixed and smooth. The filling will be liquid but thickens as it bakes.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the pre-baked pie crust. Smooth the top if necessary.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. The pie will firm up as it cools.
- Allow the pie to cool at room temperature. For best results, chill the pie in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Top with whipped cream (optional) and enjoy.
