Ingredients:

1 pre-baked pie crust

1/2 cup of flour

3 egg yolks

1/2 cup of cocoa

2 cups of milk

1 cup of sugar

1 tablespoon of butter

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon of salt

Instructions:

Create the Filling: In a pot over medium to medium-high heat, mix cocoa, flour, sugar, salt, and milk. Gradually add beaten egg yolks, stirring continuously.

Thicken the Mixture: Cook while stirring constantly until it reaches a pudding-like consistency, typically taking 5 to 10 minutes.

Add Final Touches: Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract and butter.

Assemble the Pie: Pour the chocolate mixture into the pre-baked pie crust.

Chill to Perfection: Refrigerate the pie. For an extra treat, top it with whipped cream or meringue before serving.
