Time 1h

Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4 cups sugar
3 1/2 tablespoons cocoa
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 ounces Pet milk (evaporated)
2 eggs
1 pie crust, uncooked

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Mix everything together in one big bowl.
  • You don't have to bake the crust first, prick the bottom of it.
  • Pour filling into crust.
  • Bake for about 50 minutes. Let the pie set for a long while once it comes out of the oven. I think this definitely tastes better room temperature.
  • If you'd like, serve with a big scoop of ice-cream, some fruit, a little whipped cream, or straight out of the pie plate!

Tips:

  • For a flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. Grate the butter and shortening into the flour mixture to create a coarse, crumbly texture.
  • Chill the pie dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from shrinking and becoming tough.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch and work quickly to prevent the butter from melting.
  • To prevent the pie crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it for 10-15 minutes before filling it.
  • When making the chocolate filling, use high-quality chocolate that contains at least 70% cocoa solids. This will give the pie a rich, intense flavor.
  • To prevent the chocolate filling from curdling, add the eggs one at a time and whisk constantly.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven at 350°F for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

Minnie's Chocolate Pie is a classic Southern dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, rich chocolate filling, and whipped cream topping, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try!
