Source:
| 1 refrigerated pie crust | |
| 1½ cups | sugar |
| 3 Tablespoons | unsweetened cocoa |
| ¼ cup | unsalted butter, melted |
| 2 | eggs, slightly beaten |
| ¼ teaspoon | salt |
| 1-5½oz. can | evaporated milk, (Double check your can, they also come MUCH bigger!) |
| 1 teaspoon | vanilla, (you know what kind to use!) |
| Whipped Cream for serving | |
Fit crust into 9" pie pan. Crimp edges and prick bottom and sides (I forgot to do that).
Preheat oven to 350° (I used convection at 335°). Mix sugar, cocoa and butter in a mixing bowl. Add eggs and beat with a mixer 3 minutes. Add salt, milk and vanilla. Pour filling into shell and bake for 35-45 minutes or until edges are brown and filling is slightly set in the middle. Cool completely before serving.
Can be refrigerated or served at room temp. You'll also see the pie as a double crust pie in the movie in a scene. But most often Minny makes a single crust with a big dollop of whipped cream!
The recipe calls for a refrigerated pie crust, and yes, I went there. I love home made pie crust, no doubt. But trust me, this pie is so rich, so decadent, the crust plays a pretty small role. Of course for unsweetened cocoa I used Pernigotti. The evaporated milk makes the filling smooth as silk, the pie is just delicious. I must admit though, that my pie looks a lot juicier the the pie in the movie. But trust me, you will enjoy it as much as Minny's admirers (and enemy) enjoyed hers! So, what are ya waiting for? Get in there and bake!
