Old Fashion Chocolate Cream Pie


1/2 c. cocoa
1/4 cup cornstarch/or arrowroot powder (or ½ c. all purpose flour)
3 egg yolks (save white for meringue
1 1/2 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
2 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix cocoa, cornstarch, beaten egg yolks; sugar and salt, then add milk gradually, while stirring in a pot over med high heat. Cook until thick, beating it smooth. Cream pies take some time to thicken, so stir... and stir (10-15 min). Using a heavy bottom pan really helps. Just keep it up until it thickens. Pour into a pre baked pie shell. Put in the fridge to chill, add whipped cream if you like Or use the left over egg whites for a meringue topping
