Grannys Cocoa Cream Pie
Here is a great old hard to find recipe~
Its simple and tasty. This really was a simple
desert often used during the 30s and 40s.
½ cup cocoa
¼ cup cornstarch/or arrowroot powder (or ½ c. all purpose flour)
3 egg yolks
1 ½ cup sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix cocoa, cornstarch, beaten egg yolks; sugar
and salt, then add milk gradually, while stirring
in a pot over medium-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 :0 Or use the left over egg whites for a meringue topping!
