Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa. You can substitute the Pet milk with evaporated milk or regular whole milk if preferred. If you want a thicker filling, add an extra tablespoon of flour. Make sure to cook the filling over low heat while stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie chilled or at room temperature, topped with whipped cream or a sprinkle of grated chocolate for added flavor. It pairs beautifully with a side of fresh berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside a light salad, like a Bleu And Cottage Cheese Salad Dressing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk in this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute Pet milk with regular whole milk, 2% milk, or even almond milk for a non-dairy option. Just keep in mind that the flavor and texture may slightly change depending on the milk used.
How do I know when the filling is thick enough?
The filling should coat the back of a spoon and hold its shape when you run your finger through it. This typically takes about 10-15 minutes of cooking over low heat. Make sure to stir continuously to prevent sticking.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the filling and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before pouring it into the pie shell. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. Just allow the filling to come to room temperature before filling your pie crust.
