Dessert Cocoa Cream Pie Recipe

Cocoa Cream Pie Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Crust

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a 9-inch pie dish, press the chocolate graham cracker crust into the bottom and up the sides. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.

2. 2

   Make the Cocoa Filling

   In a medium saucepan, whisk together granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and flour. Gradually stir in milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat.

3. 3

   Add Eggs and Butter

   In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Gradually add a small amount of the warm cocoa mixture to the eggs to temper them, then whisk the egg mixture back into the saucepan. Stir in the butter and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. 4

   Pour Filling into Crust

   Pour the cocoa filling into the cooled graham cracker crust. Spread evenly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

5. 5

   Prepare Whipped Cream

   In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.

6. 6

   Serve

   Top the chilled pie with whipped cream and drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving.
