This Easy Chocolate Pie is so simple but decadent. And yet not overly sweet. You only need 5 pantry ingredients for the filling and 5 minutes of prep. The hardest part is waiting for it to be done baking!
I hoard pie recipes. I have a a folder full of them, cookbooks, and a Pinterest board. The thing is, nobody ever requests pie. It’s always, “Mommy, can we make cookies?” or “Mom, can I have cupcakes for my birthday?” or “Hey Babe, remember those brownies….”
Ugh. It’s like they don’t even know me!
So, the pie recipes keep building. I pretty much used National Pie Day as an excuse to try a bunch of them out. You know, for work and all.
National Pie Day may be way over. And Valentine’s Day is long gone. But nothing says I love you like chocolate. Anytime. In any form.
Especially this Easy Chocolate Pie.
And it doesn’t get much easier!
You only need six simple ingredients
1. sugar
2. cocoa powder
3. eggs
4. unsalted butter
5. evaporated milk
6. pie shell
I originally spotted this recipe on Tasty Kitchen. But there were so many questions from people having issues with the evaporated milk and butter.
Evaporated milk comes in a 12 ounce and 5 ounce cans – you only use 5 ounces! Also, a 1/2 stick of butter is not the same thing as a 1/2 cup of butter. You need a 1/2 stick for this recipe, which is 1/4 cup. If you use more evaporated milk and/or butter than is called for, you’ll have a soupy mess.
This pie has a creamy texture, almost like chocolate pudding, but not overly sweet. I topped mine with whipped cream and chocolate shavings…and then had to force myself not to eat three slices.

Easy Chocolate Pie
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter ,melted
- 5 ounce can evaporated milk
- 1 9-inch pie crust ,homemade or store bought
- whipped cream ,for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and cocoa powder. Vigorously whisk in the eggs, butter, and evaporated milk until completely combined and smooth (batter will be thin.)
- Pour batter into the pie crust and bake for about 50-55 minutes or until the filling sets and there is a thin crust on the top. (It might be slightly jiggly in the center, but that’s okay - as it sits and cools, it will set up more.)
- Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- Slice and serve with a little whipped cream and chocolate shavings!

Notes
- You can use my homemade pie crust shell or a store bought - it is not baked first. The pie shell and filling bake together at the same time.
- If your oven runs hot and you notice your crust is browning too fast, use a crust protector.
- After baking, pie should be left at room temperature as the cooling process normally takes several hours. Within 5 hours, the pie should then be placed in the refrigerator. Cover loosely with plastic wrap until serving. Pie may be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
This was so easy and delicious!
I have used your recipe for several occasions now and it’s absolutely everyone’s favorite! I made a second one and added Hershey’s white chocolate chips and caramel just a good squeeze in a circle and everyone said that is possibly the best pie I have ever made!! I make a killer homemade banana pudding and when I tell you I can’t make enough I mean that lol took 2 big pans to work and was gone within minutes!!! Everyone always ask me to make it for every event ?? I do it because cooking is my passion and my release of life for just a few minutes! Thank you for your recipe I absolutely love it ??
Very simple to follow. Only question is should pie Crack while baking?
This is a great chocolate pie recipe. I have added espresso powder and made it as listed and both are delicious. It is always the favorite of our family dinners. I also omit the chocolate and add shredded coconut for a coconut custard pie.
Delicious….the whole family loved it!
I just popped this in the oven, but now I’m wishing I had tossed in some coconut to the chocolate mixture!
This was a hit for Pi Day at the office! I added espresso powder to amp the chocolate flavor up, and now everyone’s asking for the link to this recipe :)
My husband wanted a chocolate pie for his birthday. I decided to make one , I searched for a recipe while in the store , so I bought the ingredients.
I followed the instructions to the letter. It turned out amazing!!
It’s a keeper
Was excellent. I was wondering if i doubled the recipe for a deep dish pie and baked it for longer would that work? I know i would have some left over as well.
Made this for my 92 year old aunt’s birthday and she absolutely loved it and kept reminding me to leave the recipe for her. It is so easy and delicious.
So easy and delicious! I added just a pinch of salt and instant coffee granules to the batter to intensify the chocolate flavor.
I am a profound lover of chocolate, and this is my favorite chocolate pie recipe. The fact that it’s also the easiest chocolate pie recipe is just a bonus. I prefer its brownie-like texture over more pudding-y mousse pies. So thanks, Amy, for this recipe that has become a part of our family traditions (including my birthdays!)
Can you make this without a crust?
This was the hit dessert for Christmas this year! Made as directed – only change was I decided to drizzle a little chocolate ganache over each slice. It’s so easy and not too sweet. Really good!
Is this also called a chocolate chess pie? Thank you, it looks delicious will have to try it!
I was looking for a quick and easy chocolate dessert for Thanksgiving. I used refrigerated pie crust, and it turned wonderful!
Made this for Thanksgiving along with a few other pies and this was easily everyone’s favorite. It’s not fancy but definitely delivers on taste and so so easy.
quick, easy, & delicious!
Have made this pie for thanksgiving & Christmas every year for the past 4 years. It is a huge hit and requested EVERY time. I have finally memorized the recipe. Yum!
Served for Thanksgiving with whipped cream and it was everyone’s favorite dessert. So easy, too! Will make it from now on every year – thank you!
Made exactly as directed except a teaspoon of good vanilla. This could be the base for so many flavors! Chile, cinnamon, orange- it is beautiful and exactly how I remember my Nani’s. Thank you!
I made this recipe and made an Oreo crust out of chocolate peanut butter pie Oreos! Wow! It was so so yummy!
this recipe is my go to chocolate pie recipe, I absolutely love it
This recipe was easy and so, so good!
I used a mix of whole milk and heavy cream.
I’m grateful you wrote the substitution for evaporated milk. As a result, I think i will try this recipe for my chocolate loving teen girl.
I have made this pie 3 times already in 4 months. I cook for seniors at an Independent Living Apartment Community which I cook for. Each lunch meal has a dessert. Man o man, this was a hit! I do have a question, can this pie be frozen???
Wonderful texture and taste, chocolatey but not too sweet, just right, especially with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!
Thanks simple and elegant. Forget cookies this is the bomb!
So so good.
My husband and I love this chocolate pie recipe.
So simple and delicious. Love this pie. Will make again.
I loved this recipe so much
<3
The flavor is good. Overall excellent recipe.
I’m a novice baker but this was so easy to make. Was thrilled with the results. Great flavor too.
This looks so good! Can it be put in the refrigerator right away to cool faster, or does it need to completely cool on the counter? Thanks!
Hi Rachel! It needs to cool completely before place in the fridge.
Hey, great recipe. I was thinking of finishing with ganache, what do you think?
Sure!
This recipe was a huge success! I didn’t find it overly sweet, I am not fond of overly sweet desserts. I added 2 teaspoons of instant espresso powder to the recipe like others have suggested. I will make it again!
So easy and delicious. Sweet, but not overly. We all loved it. Thinking of making it again for Easter.
This pie uses simple ingredients and is so delicious and easy to make. My guests called it “divine”. I will definitely make it again!
This is chocolate pie is the best ever and so so easy
Can you use chocolate squares instead of Coco powder
Didn’t have evaporated milk so used 5 oz. of unsweetened full fat coconut milk! Very tasty! First time making a chocolate pie. Will definitely make again! So easy and yummy!
Super easy, no-fuss ingredients. But I chose this recipe based on comments that it was Not overly sweet. It was so very sweet.
We, like so many others have commented, don’t think this pie is very sweet at all. So it’s just another case of how different all of our taste buds are.
Made this pie for Thanksgiving and I’m making it again for Christmas. It’s so easy and just the right amount of sweetness.
hi! do you think this would be good with crushed peppermint on top to give it some winter color? i’d add after baking, correct? and then whipped cream! also, it wouldn’t be wise to make it with fat-free evaporated milk, would it?
I crushed peppermint candies on top with would delish! And I would recommend sticking with full fat evaporated milk to make sure it sets properly. Enjoy!
Perfect every time! So easy to put together. Great for holidays or any time. Don’t forget the whipped cream.
This is my 3rd or 4th pie I’ve made using this recipe! Loved it! Easy and tasty!
Can a Meringue topping be added? If I bake it 45 min and then add the Meringue for the remaining 10…will this hurt the pie?
Without further testing I can’t say, sorry. But you can try it!
Can I substitute whole milk for evaporate milk
I did Demma and it was great! I took mine out at 40-42 minutes, added my meringue, and put it back for another 8-10 minutes. Looked and tasted great! My husband said it was fantastic. His only complaint was that there wasn’t enough!!
Love it ! Just wish I had read all the instructions about the crust not be cooked ahead of time. Made 4 pies already !
Can you use a store bought Oreo crust with this recipe?
I’ve never tested it that way, but you could try it.
I made a graham cracker crust and made this pie. And it was great.
Absolutely loved it. Sweet, but not overly. Texture was creamy. Couldn’t believe how easy it was. Making it again for Thanksgiving and maybe even Christmas!
could you do it without the evaporated milk?
Does this recipe work on a graham cracker crust? If so, does the curst need to be baked first
It should be fine, and no you should not need to bake it first. If making it homemade, I would chill it first to make sure it solidifies.
Just wonderful. So glad I found this recipe. Am going to make it again for Thanksgiving.
Simply DELICIOUS!
Delicious and soooo easy. Topped with cool whip.
AWESOME recipe!! Loved it so much, and easy to make!
I was making several different individual pies for a wedding reception and made my ole stanby recipe I have made a 100 times (pudding type and meringue). For some reason, the pudding didn’t thicken and due to time I didn’t start over. So I Googled – easy chocolate pie -and this came up and after reading reviews, I gave it a try. I made whipped cream available for those who wanted it. The pies were a hit and several have asked for the recipe. So glad I found this!
My whole family, even my grandmother who is not big on chocolate, love this pie. It rarely lasts more than 1 day.
Wow!!! Delicious!
Amy, was wondering if this hi can be frozen? Wanted to make some up in advance to take to my niece. Best pie ever!!?
Hi Avis! We’ve never actually tried freezing this pie. Once thawed it might separate, but you could try it?? Cool completely, wrap in plastic wrap and then transfer to a freezer safe bag. I wouldn’t freeze longer than 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight. If you do, let us know the results!
Great recipe. Tasty, easy, fast and delicious. Best very cold. I used blender and loved the crusty top layer.
Goes together in no time! I added two tsp of espresso powder. Delicious!
Made this for Easter – easy, delicious. Everyone loved it. Will make again.
This was our Easter dessert and everyone loved it! So easy. Perfect sweetness and texture. Filing this one in the permanent binder. Thank you!
I made this in a 7 inch pie and realized it needed to cook the same time as a 9 inch pie. After cooling it was still jiggly. So i put jt back in. Is this okay and will it still set in refrigerator?
Hi AJ – I’ve never made this in anything other than a 9-inch pie dish. The filling will definitely be deeper in a 7-inch and require a longer baking time, but not sure how much longer. You’ll also want to cover the crust so it doesn’t burn.
I’m making the pie and I was wondering if it would make the pie runny if I added a tablespoon of rum to it?
1 tablespoon will be fine – sounds delicious!
This was possibly the easiest dessert I’ve ever made – and it was perfect. Sweet, but not too sweet, creamy, and delicious.
Wonderful pie
Passed it on to my son who loves to cook easy recipes. Wonderful pie
So delicious and so easy! Homemade whipped cream made it perfect!
My new favorite pie! Not overly sweet, but wonderfully chocolate-y and so so easy. Excellent recipe – thank you!
Very easy and delicious! Sweet, but not overly. It was perfect.
I am hoping to take this to a bake sale tomorrow. Does it have to be refrigerated during the sale?
Hi Kay! Yes, it is recommended that this pie stays refrigerated.
This was easy to make. My friends loved the pie.
My hubby is gluten free and he enjoyed this easy pie.
What kind of crust did you use?
I’ve made this recipe 4 times now with all different crusts. Oreo, vanilla, chocolate and chocolate peppermint nut crusts. They’re all delicious and my family loves this recipe! I love this recipe because it’s so fast and easy. Thank you!
I don’t generally rate recipes, but this one is stellar! Absolutely perfect, my whole family loved it! Reminded us of an under baked brownie in the BEST WAY!
Can this be done with gram cracker crust?
I’ve never test it that way, but you could try it!
We loved the pie. I thought it could have a larger amount of filling. Could you double the recipe ?
Did you ever try this? I was wondering that myself!
Hi I am going to try this recipe! But this may be a dumb question but can I use unsweetened cocoa powder? I’m not much of a baker but I been wanting to try new things.
Hi Grayson – yes, it should be unsweetened cocoa powder.
Delicious, — and so simple, thank you—I do have a question, it turn out to be a thin pie, — it that how it should be,? I made my own crust and used a 9 inch pan–perhaps my pan was too big?
If it’s a standard 9-inch shell, it will full it fairly well (as seen in my pictures.) If it’s a deep dish 9-inch shell, it will be thinner (as seen in my video.) Hope that helps!
I made this on a whim and because of the reviews. It is was so easy to put together and very good. I will definitely make this recipe again.
Very good! Thank you for this recipe!!
This pie is delicious.
I must admit I had my doubts about this recipe, but it really is easy and quick to make. The flavor is rich and chocolatey. It will definitely be my
“go to” chocolate pie from now on.
Love this pie and it’s very easy to make
Oh wow is all I can say! I had homemade crust as well. It didn’t even need whipped topping!
Was looking for something quick and simple. Had all the ingredients except for the unsalted butter or sugar. I used brown sugar instead and store bought crust. Came out perfect! Added some whip cream on top and it was just what I wanted. Will definitely be making again!
I made this once with granulated white sugar. It was fantastic. I only have brown sugar right now though, do you think it would work the same?
Hi Becca – without further recipe testing, I can’t vouch for the results, but you could try it!
This recipe was very easy to follow but I do have a question…is the top supposed to crack once you have taken it out of the oven? The top layer was crispy.
I will be making a pie for the first time and this recipe sounds less intimidating than most. Could I substitute with brown sugar, or will that make the pie jiggly?
Hi Kitty! You can try it, but I’ve never made this with brown sugar, so I can’t vouch for the results.
I rarely leave feedback… But this one definitely deserves a rave review! Was making hm potpie, I had leftover piecrust dough, wanted something other than a fruit pie. This was perfect! Much less time consuming and less ingredients than my GMs meringue pie.
Husband absolutely loved it as did I and my best friend who finished it off.
A note, I realized I did not have evaporated milk on hand but did have condensed milk, long story short because of the already added sugar I used half condensed milk and mixed it with regular milk to match the required amount The pie set-up perfect with an around the edge fudge like texture that was awesome finish.
Made this for my chocolate loving husband’s birthday – absolutely scrumptious! I added a 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and partially pre-baked a store bought pie crust to make sure the bottom crust stayed crispy, This pie is a Winner!
Whoops. I needed to rate this. And if there were more stars available, I’d give it those too!
This is my second time making the pie. It was gone in a day our first go round. Today I used a deep dish pie and doubled it. I hope it turns out ok. It’s in the oven now. Do you think I should bake longer ? Just put it in….
Hi Wendy – I have never tried doubling the filling and using a deep dish shell, so I can’t vouch for the results on that. My concern is that in order for the filling to cook properly, you’ll need to cook it for so long that the crust will overcook. Maybe next time, just make 2 regular pies? Let me know how it turns out!
I went ten min longer and the crust still looks perfect. Best pie ever. Thank you so much!
Awesome, I’m so glad! Thanks for coming back to let me know!
Delish…. EASY!!! Thanks for the great recipe! I topped mine with chopped pecans before baking and served it with whipped cream with a few chocolate shavings. It turned out perfect!
Don’t have unsalted butter, can I use regular butter?
It will give it a salty flavor and it’s not my preference, but yes, you can – it will still be delicious .
Awesome recipe. Came out really well.
So amazing. Great nutty flavor. I wish I followed another reviewers advice about adding walnuts but I will DEFINITELY be making again. So easy and delicious.
So quick and easy and sooooooo good! I throw toasted pecans in mine. Make extras and pop them into the freezer for another day. I keep Marie Callendar’s frozen pie crusts in my freezer, so it’s easy to make two. Goofed today and used half cup of butter instead of a fourth. I’ll just cook it a little longer!
Are you using a deep dish pie crust?
I was looking for an easy recipe to satisfy my chocolate craving and this recipe DEFINITELY is it!
I added 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts at the end and I’m so glad I did. They added nice texture and nutty flavor. Since I didn’t make my own crust, I bought an organic one to make sure the quality was there. When the top is crusty looking and the middle jiggles slightly it’s done. I think this pie would also be good served slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream too.
We used condensed milk!! I love it!
Just baked this pie for 55 minutes and it is fully cooled…but still jiggly. Should I bake it again for a few more minutes OR???????
Hi Anita – step #3 in the recipe card instructions addresses this. If it’s still a little jiggly after baking, that’s ok…it will set up as it cools. But it shouldn’t be jiggly after cooling completely. I hope it turned out for you!
Hello
This looks so good. If I use a graham cracked crust would the bake time be the same?
Thanks
Hi Aisha – without further recipe testing, I couldn’t say. The pie itself needs the specified amount of time to bake properly, so I guess just try it?
Made your pie crust as well as chocolate pie. Absolutely delicious. I only let the pie disc refrigerate for 30 minutes but will need to do longer next time. Thanks for this wonderful recipe.
This is THE BEST CHOCOLATE PIE I HAVE EVER MADE. So easy and with basic ingredients. I have searched for a chocolate pie that was not like cream or pudding. I cant explain the texture of this one,,, sort of like a chocolate chess pie maybe?? It is just delicious. It will be my new go to. I’m so glad I discovered this website.
Thank you, Johnna! I’m so happy it worked out for you and you loved it like I do!
Do you warm it in the oven to eat later? What are the reheating directions or is it meant to be cold? Thanks!
It’s meant to be eaten at room temperature or cold.
Thank you!
It’s exactly what I wanted in a recipe…easy and tasted fantastic! My family loved it from the first bite to the last.
Is it unsweetened cocoa powder?
Yep!
I made two pies last night. They were awesome!! Thanks for this great recipe.
Very good recipe. I added a little brown sugar and vanilla to it. Wife loved it! Turned out great!
How much vanilla and brown sugar did you add? Did you add the brown sugar in addition to the white granulated sugar or instead of the white sugar?
I have half and half on hand but no evaporated milk. Will that work?
Hi Clara – I have only ever made this with evaporated milk, so without further recipe testing I can’t vouch for the results.
Hi there! All I have is sweetened condensed milk. I see some used that. Any advice?
Hi Stacey! You need a 5 ounce can of evaporated milk for this to turn out properly.
My family loved this recipe. I used a gluten free Glutino crust since I’m allergic. Also I wanted to mention that we only had to bake it for 30 minutes. I would have liked more volume for the filling. Mmhmm great pie!
Should this pie be refrigerated?
If you use homemade pie crust how long so you need to bake it for before adding the filling? Does it need to cool completely before adding the filling? This looked so good and I haven’t had time to go to the store to get the already made pie crust!! I totally want to make this while my baby is napping… momma wants some pie ;)
Can you freeze this pie?
Do you bake the crust first or just bake altogether with the filling?
Just bake with the filling.
Can you use a frozen pie crust?
Yes.
It states in the recipe that the pie shell and filling bake together in the oven. You do not pre bake the shell.
Hello is it 3 heaping tablespoons ?
If I have a frozen pie crust, do I bake it before putting in the other ingredients in? I’m always confused about this part.
Hi Chris! Nope, it doesn’t need to be baked prior to filling.
I have been looking for an easy chocolate pie. The recipe I was given for chocolate pie was a dear friend’s mother’s recipe which never turns out right. It involves cooking the ingredients and pouring into the crust and then baking. I curdle the eggs every time and even if I don’t it is lumpy. So I am grateful for an easy alternative. Five stars for ease and generosity!! Let you know as I will make for Christmas as I am on the road for Thanksgiving. Blessed Holiday!!
My family always requests this pie. It’s my favorite and comes out perfectly every time!
I first made this pie in the early ’80’s and misplaced it. I remember always making two at a time. One day I ate a whole pie before dinner and that’s when I always baked two at a time. Thank you for posting my favorite pie!
This looks soooooo yummy!
CANT WAIT TO TRY IT
Do you bake the Graham cracker pie crust in the oven with the filling in it? Even if it is store bought?
It’s pie crust, not Graham cracker crust.
I am a chocohalic! This pie fits the bill perfectly! Simple, easy fast and very yummy. This is a definite keeper. Thank you for this great recipe!
I just made 2 of these and used my homemade pie crust recipe. They smell amazing and look just like the pictures! Thanks for such a great recipe!
Oh this is SO good! I did not have high expectations because it looked too easy.
Made it the same day I found it on pinterest. It is a keeper…..thank you!
I added some chopped walnuts and mixed in some shredded coconut into the batter. WINNER!
made this yesterday. it was so good and easy i’m making another one tomorrow!
I have a recipe very similar to this So I decided to try it.
The sugar and cocoa measurements where a lil different and I used vanilla extract and I used a graham cracker crust instead, as the recipe I have called for a coconut graham cracker crust homemade, which I didn’t do. I baked it as directed and the pie filling was very thin and liquidity so I put it back in the oven and baked it longer and the middle was still liquidity. Do you have any suggestions as to why it would of not turned out rite?
Hi Gina – I can only vouch for the ingredients and instructions I have listed. If you altered them in any way, it could render different results. I have made this pie several times, and it always comes out perfect.
I am looking for a chocolate pie recipe to make in individual pie crusts for Thanksgiving. Looks like we have a WINNER!!! Thanks!
1/2 cup of butter? Gonna make tonight :)
Hi Gemma. 1/2 stick is a 1/4 cup. Enjoy!
Wow! It turned out great! I used a Graham cracker pie crust cuz that’s what I had . So easy and delicious thanks!
Awesome, so glad you liked it!
When you do it with a graham cracker crust do you still cook it for 50-55 minutes and do you have to change the amount of the ingredients
CHOCOLATE PIE?! Seriously? ::dies::
Do you deliver? ;)
A pie recipe hoarder huh. That sounds mighty interesting to me! This definitely falls into the easy category. But I think I would still make a homemade crust even though its not my most favorite thing to do.
I fully support homemade pie crust! I just don’t have the time…
This recipe caught my eye while looking for something yummy to make for tonights dessert. Its in the oven now and I will let you know how it turns out! I made it as written except I added a smidge of vanilla extract.
Oh great, enjoy!
Ooooh, yum! Isn’t pie at the top of the food pyramid (or whatever they’re using these days)? Maybe we could lobby for a new law requiring that we eat pie every day.
It should be! That would be an easy law to abide by :)
I am always happy eating pie, so maybe we should just keep inventing holidays that necessitate making/eating them. Like, today is the last Thursday in March! So – pie time.
Drooling over this chocolate goodness.
YES!! Chocolate in any way, shape, or form is ALWAYS welcome! And if you ever want to test out a few more of those pie recipes, I’d be happy to take them off your hands. (As would quite a few hungry grad students I know. They’re brilliant at making desserts disappear in mere seconds!)
See, and I’m terrible at pies and my husband adores them. I need to remember to make a proper pie for his next birthday instead of just the cake I want to eat :)
My grandson is allergic to eggs. Do you think a flax egg would work in this recipe?
Hi Kay – without further recipe testing, I can’t say whether it would turn out.
Isn’t that funny; I never think to make pie even though I do enjoy it (though maybe not as much as you). I do know that my family would go crazy for this chocolate pie, especially our daughter. She’s one of those chocolate fiends.
Yow, this sounds great!!!! Maybe I’ll make it this weekend, now that I’ve taken everything to the CPA.
I think that requires something stronger…like vodka. ;-)
Chocolate pie is good anytime of year! I hardly every make pies but that NEEDS to change!
I’ve never met anything chocolate I didn’t like!
Oh helloooooo gorgeous little chocolate pie! I think that has breakfast potential, don’t you? :D I mean, there ARE milk and eggs in it.
See? I knew you and I needed to be BFFs. #pieisthebest
I want this for breakfast! I looove chocolate pie and this looks so wonderful!
Easy Chocolate Pie— What if we don’t available/have Pillsbury refrigerated prepared pie crust. So what is the alternative of it.
There are lot of INGREDIENTS/things which are not available in our country (Pakistan). So DO i assume every ingredient will have its substitute/alternative. pls. explain.
Regards
Fareed Syed
You can use a homemade crust. Since I’m not familiar with what ingredients you do have, I don’t know how to help with other substitutions. Sorry.
