Easy Chocolate Pie
This quick and Easy Chocolate Pie recipe is so rich and creamy, but not overly sweet. It's incredibly simple to make with only 5 pantry ingredients for the filling and 5 minutes of prep.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 & 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3 & 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter , melted
- 5 ounces evaporated milk
- 1 9-inch pie crust , homemade or store bought
- whipped cream , for serving, optional
- chocolate shavings , for serving, optional
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
Make sure you use a regular 9-inch pie shell, not deep dish. Homemade or store-bought. It is not par-baked. If your oven runs hot and you notice your crust is browning too fast, use a crust protector toward the end of of the baking time. Don't miss the helpful tips and storage info in the article.
