Chocolate Pie from The Help
from bookclub cookbook Ingredients
- 1-2/3 cups water
- 5 tablespoons sweetened cocoa powder, such as Ghiradelli
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 3 egg yolks, beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 9-inch pie shell, prebaked plain or graham cracker
- Whipped cream (or if it’s not too humid, you can top with meringue)
- Shaved chocolate to sprinkle on top, for looks
Directions
- In a medium sized, cool saucepan, mix water, cocoa, and cornstarch with a whisk until all the lumps are gone, making a paste. Stir in condensed milk and egg yolks. Heat to just under a boil and stir until it’s thick.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in butter. Add in your good vanilla, and keep stirring well. Turn off the heat and let it cool some. Pour into a prebaked pie shell, storebought if that’s how you do things.
- Let the pie set-up in a cool spot, like a plug-in refrigerator, covering with wax paper so you don’t get a skin. Dollop cream on top or top with meringue.
- Yield: 1 9 inch pie, 6-8 servings

This pie is fun and easy to make! It is also very tasty; however, be prepared, it is very rich also, for those with sugar restrictions.
