Ingredients

• 2 cup Milk
• 1/4 cup Sugar
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 3 Tbl Flour
• 3 Egg Yolks
• 3 Tbl Cocoa
• 1 Tbl Vegetable Oil
• 1 Tbl Butter
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla
• 1 9" baked pie shell
• Whipped Cream

Preparation

Step 1

Scald 1 1/2 cup milk. Mix sugar, salt, flour cocoa, oil and remaining milk together. Stir into hot mil and cook slowly until thickened, stirring constantly. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Add mixture slowly to beaten egg yolks and cook one minute longer. Add butter and vanilla. Cover with plastic wrap directly onto pudding to avoid forming a hard crust. Cool. Pour into baked pastry shell and spread with whipped cream.
