Ingredients
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, stir condensed milk, margarine, and cocoa until margarine melts and mixture is warm. Remove from heat.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa. If you want to reduce calories, you can substitute the margarine with unsweetened applesauce. To avoid overbaking, check for doneness a few minutes before the recommended time. Allow the pie to cool slightly before cutting for cleaner slices. This pie pairs beautifully with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of nut in this pie?
Absolutely! While the recipe calls for coarsely chopped nuts, you can substitute pecans, walnuts, or even macadamia nuts for a different flavor profile. Just ensure they are roughly chopped to mix well into the batter.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the center is firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time to avoid overcooking.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes! This pie can be made a day in advance. Just allow it to cool completely before covering it and storing it in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to meld together, making it even more delicious when served the next day.
