Instructions:
-
Prepare the Crust: Begin by preparing your graham cracker crumb crust. You can either make your own crust or use a store-bought one for convenience.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, stir together the Hershey’s cocoa, sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
-
Gradually Add Milk: Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and free of any lumps.
-
Cook the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it comes to a gentle boil. Allow it to boil for 1 minute, ensuring it thickens properly.
-
Incorporate Butter and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. This will add richness and depth to the chocolate filling.
-
Pour into Crust: Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, ensuring it spreads evenly.
-
Cover and Cool: To prevent a skin from forming on the surface of the pie, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the filling. Allow the pie to cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
-
Refrigerate: Once cooled, place the pie in the refrigerator and let it chill for 6 to 8 hours, or until it’s set and firm.
-
Serve with Whipped Cream: Before serving, top the pie with a generous dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
-
Storage: Any leftover pie can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for future enjoyment.
