Great Grandma's Chocolate Pie

This recipe is from my Great Grandmother who is 98 now. She would have bacon and fried eggs for breakfast almost every morning. I don't feel bad about eating bacon anymore after learning that. Not that I felt that bad in the first place. I mean come on...it's bacon.

Intense, smooth, chocolate flavor with a light flaky crust served with fresh whip cream and you have the makings of a very good pie.

Chocolate Pie

1 9''baked pie shell

1 1/3 cup sugar

1/2 tsp salt

6 tbsp unsweetened cocoa

2 1/2 tbsp cornstarch

1 tbsp flour

3 cups whole milk

3 egg yolks, beaten

2 tbsp vanilla

Mix the sugar, salt, cocoa, cornstarch, and flour in a saucepan with high sides on moderate heat. Gradually stir in the three cups of milk. Continually stir until mixture thickens and boils. Let boil for one minute. Remove from heat. In another bowl beat your egg yolks and add about half the mixture from saucepan into bowl. Don't add your yolks straight into the pan otherwise you run the risk of cooking your eggs. Add egg and chocolate mixture into the saucepan. Put back on heat and boil for one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and mix in vanilla. Cool, stirring occasionally. Pour into cooled baked pie shell. Chill thoroughly, about two hours. Take out of the fridge about 20 minutes before serving. Serve with fresh whip cream or grated chocolate.
