Texas Chocolate Pie (Printable)


I wanted to share my husband's family recipe for Texas Chocolate Pie, and I also wanted to try out Google Documents for making printable documents.

This is the best of both worlds!

I will paste the recipe below, but please try the printable version too to see if it works:

Texas Chocolate Pie

Yay! Printable! Get this, it's..... printable!!

Yes, possibly a bit excited.



And now, the non-printable version for viewing. And while I may be a tad over-excited about finally having printables, I should also mention that this is one of the best pies ever. People will fight to the death over it before your eyes. While that might be a bit messy (and socially embarrassing), it's probably worth it.

 

Texas Chocolate Pie
 
 
6 Tbsp. cornstarch
6 Tbsp. cocoa powder
1 ½ cups sugar
⅛ tsp. salt
¼ cup water
2 egg yolks
1 ¾ cups milk
½ cup butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 baked pie shell
 
Mix cornstarch, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt together in a medium pan. Add water
and egg yolks to make a paste.
 
Scald milk. Add slowly to above.
 
Cook until boiling, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla until combined. (You can use a cold water bath  after the butter has melted in to cool more quickly when you’re in a hurry.)
 

Pour into pie shell. Let cool. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

But wait! Before you go, why not check out the printable version!
(Yes! Yes! Yes!)
