Ingredients
- Granny’s Cocoa Cream Pie
- It’s simple and tasty. This really was a simple desert often used during the 30’s and 40’s.
- 1/2 c. cocoa
- 1/4 cup cornstarch/or arrowroot powder (or 1/2 c. all purpose flour)
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 1/2 c. sugar
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 2 c. milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Preparation
Step 1
Mix cocoa, cornstarch, beaten egg yolks; sugar and salt, then add milk gradually, while stirring in a pot over med-high heat. Cook until thick, beating it smooth. Cream pies take some time to thicken, so stir... and stir (10-15 min). Using a heavy bottom pan really helps. Just keep it up until it thickens. Pour into a pre-baked pie shell. Put in the fridge to chill, add whipped cream if you like Or use the left over egg whites for a meringue topping!
