Chocolate Pie

To celebrate Superhero's first day of first grade, we made a chocolate pie. Chocolate has such a way of motivating people.

Superhero rolled out the crust all by himself.

Yummm...

The pie is very easy to make. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

1 crust, baked

1 1/3 cups sugar

3 egg yolks

1/4 cup flour

1/4 cup cocoa powder (I prefer Hershey's)

3 Tbs butter

1 1/2 cups milk

Combine the sugar, flour & cocoa in a pot. Beat the egg yolks with the milk and slowly add to the sugar mixture. Cook & stir until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted. Pour the filling into the crust & chill until served.

I always whip some cream with sugar and spread that over the pie, too.
