1/2 cup cocoa

1/4 cup cornstarch/or arrowroot powder (or 1/2 cup all purpose flour)

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cup milk

DETAILS:

Servings: 6

DIRECTIONS :

STEP 1

Mix cocoa, cornstarch, beaten egg yolks; sugar and salt, then add milk gradually, while stirring in a pot over med-high heat.

STEP 2

Cook until thick, beating it smooth. While stirring, mix in the vanilla. Cream pies take some time to thicken, so stir… and stir (10 to 15 minutes).

Add whipped cream, cool whip, or a baked meringue for the topping if you like .

ENJOY!
