Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine sugar, flour, cocoa, and salt in a saucepan until well blended.
- Add milk to the saucepan and bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly.
- Once mixture starts to cook and thickens, remove from heat.
- Take 2 egg yolks and whisk them in a separate bowl, then slowly add a small amount of hot pudding mixture to temper the yolks.
- Return the tempered egg yolk mixture to the saucepan and cook until the pudding is thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and butter until smooth.
- Allow the filling to cool before pouring into a baked pie crust.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa. If you don’t have milk, almond milk or oat milk are good substitutes. Make sure to whisk the egg yolks slowly with a small amount of the hot mixture to avoid scrambling. Keep stirring the pudding while cooking to prevent lumps.
