GRANNY'S COCOA CREAM PIE RECIPE - (3.8/5)



Granny's Cocoa Cream Pie Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by mikeimmell

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup cocoa
1/4 cup cornstarch/or arrowroot powder (or 1/2 cup all purpose flour)
3 egg yolks
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
9 " pre-baked pie shell

Steps:

  • Mix cocoa, cornstarch, beaten egg yolks; sugar and salt, then add milk gradually, while stirring in a pot over med-high heat. Cook until thick, beating it smooth. While stirring, mix in the vanilla. Cream pies take some time to thicken, so stir... and stir (10 to 15 minutes). Using a heavy bottom pan really helps. Just keep it up until it thickens. Pour into a pre-baked pie shell. Put in the fridge to chill for several hours before serving. Add whipped cream, cool whip, or a baked meringue for the topping if you like :)

MY FAMILY COCOA CREAM PIE



My Family Cocoa Cream Pie image

Can't say where I first came across this but it's been made by me for, well longer than I care to admit and I'm older than I care to admit. That said, it's a keeper! It's cocoa...rich, dark, silky cocoa--'nuf said! I can't remember where I found it, or when I first made it but I've made it for half a century so I reckon it's mine to share at this point. Dig in, it's not a sin...just plain good!

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 - 9" baked pastry shell or graham cracker pie shell
1/2 cup(s) cocoa (dark or dutch)
1 cup(s) granulated sugar
1/3 cup(s) cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
3 cup(s) half and half
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla
- whipped cream

Steps:

  • This is a delightfully easy pie to construct. Use a store bought crumb crust for the easiest way. I make my own and I'm sure you must have a delightful family crust recipe. If not, use a baked pastry shell and save yourself some clean up.
  • Combine coca, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saute pan. When thoroughly combined, stir half and half into it and blend until combined. NOTE: originally had heavy cream and skim milk but tested with all half and half and it is just as good and easier to use!
  • Set over medium high heat and stir continually until mixture comes to a low controlled simmering boil. Let it low boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla and pour into prepared crust.
  • Cover filling with plastic (like Saran) and cool for a while before putting in refrigerator. When thoroughly chilled, Cut and serve with whipped cream.

COCOA CREAM PIE

From the Hershey's Cookbook. This is a family favorite at Christmas and Thanksgiving. I usually top it with merangue instead of whipped cream, but it is delicious either way!
