Ingredients

Scale

1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped cream for topping
Chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan.
Gradually add the whole milk while whisking continuously until smooth.
Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the mixture thickens and reaches a gentle boil; boil for one minute.
Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until fully melted and glossy.
Pour the hot filling into the pre-made pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the pie for about 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is set.
Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least two hours. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings before serving.
