Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 prepared pie crust
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center of the oven.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder until completely smooth and well combined, ensuring no cocoa powder lumps remain.
- Add the eggs one at a time to the milk and cocoa mixture, whisking thoroughly after each addition to create a uniform, silky chocolate base.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and sugar, mixing until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture has a glossy, rich appearance.
- Carefully pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pie crust, using a spatula to spread it evenly and ensure no air pockets are present.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature for approximately 1-2 hours.
- Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to help the filling set completely and enhance the flavor.
- Before serving, optionally garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a light dusting of cocoa powder.
- Slice into 8 even portions and serve chilled for the best taste and texture.
Tips
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for the most intense chocolate flavor.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smoother filling.
- Whisk the cocoa and condensed milk thoroughly to prevent any lumps in your pie.
- Don't overbake! The center should still have a slight jiggle when you remove it from the oven.
- Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating to prevent condensation.
- For a professional touch, use a store-bought graham cracker or chocolate cookie crust for added flavor.
- Chill the pie for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set perfectly.
- For a more luxurious presentation, garnish with fresh whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
- Store the pie in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for the best taste and texture.
- Let the pie sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to soften slightly and enhance the flavors.
