Chocolate Chess Pie

Budget Dessert Recipes

1.5 cups granulated sugar 3 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder 2 beaten eggs one 5 oz. can evaporated milk 1/4 cup (that's one-half stick) melted butter 1 tsp. vanilla extract dash salt one 9-inch unbaked graham cracker crust pie shell (buy the no-name brand)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together sugar and cocoa. Add eggs, evaporated milk, melted butter, vanilla and salt. Stir until all ingredients are blended. Pour mix into pie shell and place on a cookie sheet. Bake for 50 minutes or until puffed over entire surface. Cool on a wire rack. Enjoy! -Diana SUSTITUTION NOTE: In a pinch, I used a mix of half and half and regular milk instead of the evaporated milk. It came out a little "gooier," but still pretty good.
