By RoketJSquerl

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350º F.

Whisk sugar, cocoa, and espresso powder (if using) together. Pour butter 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.

Pour mixture into 9 inch unbaked 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 an hour before slicing. The pie will continue to set as it cools.
