Now dorsum to pie No. 41.  I’m ever amazed at how delicious an tardily pie tin be.  You volition demand sugar, cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, corn meal, salt, evaporated milk, eggs, butter, vanilla together with a partially baked 9-inch pie crust.  I’ve researched a lot of chocolate chess pie recipes together with decided to blend several recipes together.  I believe a truthful chess pie includes corn meal.  If yous don’t conduct maintain whatsoever yous tin substitute all-purpose flour.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.  In a large mixing bowl combine the dry out ingredients:  sugar, cocoa, flour, cornmeal and salt.  Be certain to usage a adept character cocoa powder.

Stir gently to combine.

Add the evaporated milk together with blend on depression until combined.

Add the eggs ane at a time, beating good after each addition.

Add the softened butter together with vanilla together with vanquish merely until incorporated.

Pour the filling into a partially pre-baked 9-inch deep dish pie crust.

Bake at 325 degrees for 55 – sixty minutes.

This pie holds together good together with tin last served slightly warm. Top amongst H2O ice cream or sweetened whipped cream together with dust amongst powdered saccharide or cocoa if desired.

The pie is rich together with chocolaty, and nobody needs to know how tardily it is to make!
