Ingredients

Scale

1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups whole milk
3 large eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Whipped cream (for topping)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
If using homemade dough, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick and place it in a pie dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and cocoa powder until combined.
Gradually add the milk and eggs one at a time while whisking continuously until smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared crust.
Bake for 30–35 minutes or until set; the center may jiggle slightly but will firm up as it cools.
Allow cooling completely before topping with whipped cream.

Keywords: For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding a pinch of espresso powder to the chocolate mixture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently in a low oven setting. High-quality chocolate enhances both flavor and texture; opt for premium brands when possible.
