🥧 Old-Fashioned Chocolate Pie Recipe ok
📋 Ingredients:
For the filling:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 cups whole milk
- 4 large egg yolks (lightly beaten)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
For the crust:

❓FAQs
Q: Can I use a graham cracker crust?
A: Yes! While traditional chocolate pie uses a flaky pastry crust, a graham cracker or Oreo crust works well too.
Q: Can I use almond or oat milk instead of whole milk?
A: You can, but the filling may not thicken as well. Whole milk provides a creamier, more stable custard.
Q: Can I make it ahead?
A: Definitely. It’s best chilled overnight, making it perfect for prepping a day in advance.
Q: What if I don’t have cornstarch?
A: You can substitute with 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, but the texture may be slightly less smooth.
Q: Why is my pie runny?
A: It likely didn’t cook long enough. Make sure it bubbles and thickens on the stove. Also, ensure it’s chilled fully before slicing.
