Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350F.

2. Whisk sugar, cocoa, and espresso powder (if using) and salt together. Pour butter and evaporated milk into sugar and cocoa mixture and beat on high speed. Add vanilla and eggs. With mixer speed on high speed, mix for approximately 2-3 minutes to lighten.

3. Pour mixture into an unbaked 9-inch pie shell and bake for 35-40 minutes. The center of the pie will be a bit soft. Allow to cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing. The pie will continue to set as it cools.
