Minnie's Chocolate Pie Award Winning Movie Recipes

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).

Blind bake the pie crust for about 10 minutes. Prick the crust with a fork to prevent puffing.

Place aluminum foil or parchment paper inside the crust and fill it with pie weights or dry beans to weigh it down.

After blind baking, let the pie crust cool completely.

In a bowl, beat 2 eggs.

Add 1.5 cups of sugar to the eggs and mix well.

Sift in 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder and mix to combine.

Add 4 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter (or salted) to the mixture.

Pour in 3/4 cup of evaporated milk and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Mix well, adding a pinch of salt if using.

Gently fill the cooled pie crust with the chocolate filling.

Place the pie on a baking tin and bake in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes.

At the halfway mark, check if the edges are browning too much and cover them with aluminum foil if necessary.

The pie is done when the outside is firm but the inside is slightly jiggly. Let it cool completely on a cooling rack before slicing.

For whipped cream, combine 1 cup of whipping cream with 1 tablespoon of icing sugar and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Whip until firm.

Top the cooled pie with whipped cream before serving.
