A single Pillsbury Pie Crust, baked and cooled
3/4 cup of sugar
1/3 cup of Hershey's Cocoa
1/3 cup of cornstarch
1/4 cup of salt
3 eggs, beaten
3 cups of milk
3/4 cup of Hershey's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
3 tablespoons of butter
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
An 8-ounce tub of Cool Whip whipped topping
Prepare a crust in a 9-inch pie plate and cool.
In a sauce pan over medium heat, stir together the sugar, cocoa,
cornstarch and salt. Combine the eggs and milk and gradually stir them
into the sugar mixture. Cook this over medium heat, stirring with a
wire whisk to blend it well. Remove it from the heat as it begins to boil.
Add 3/4 cup of chocolate chips, butter and vanilla. Stir until the
chocolate and butter are melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour this
into the prepared crust, and immediately press plastic wrap onto the
filling surface to prevent skin formation. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours or
until firm.
When the pie is cool and firm, remove the plastic wrap and top it with
whipped topping.
We make this each August 29th, to honor Richard August Busch.
