Time 7h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornmeal
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Pinch of salt
3 eggs, beaten
½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
½ cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, cornmeal, cocoa and salt. Add eggs, melted butter, corn syrup and vanilla; mix well. Pour into unbaked pie crust.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until mostly set - there will still be a little bit of jiggle in the center when you shake the pie. Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing (it will continue to set as it cools). If the pie is still a bit too soft after cooling, chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours to firm it up.
