| It is rich and sweet, so small servings were enough. |
When the just-turned 4 year old awoke yesterday and was told it was her birthday, she replied, "But I haven't had pie yet!". Apparently our family tradition of Birthday Pie (instead of cake) is what makes a birthday official. Through the day when she was asked what her birthday wish was, the answer was "Chocolate Pie!".
And so it happened, of course. This recipe for Easy Chocolate Pie really is "as easy as pie". Easy to assembly, bake, and clean up.

| looks yummy just out of the oven |
Ingredients:
1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
3 ½ tablespoons cocoa powder
2 large egg
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
5 ounce can evaporated milk
1 9-inch pie crust
Whipped cream – for serving
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and cocoa powder Vigorously whisk in the eggs, butter, and evaporated milk until completely combined and smooth (batter will be thin).
3. pour batter into the pie crust and bake for about 50-55 minutes or until the filling sets and there is a thin crust on the top. (it might be slightly jiggly in the center, as it cools it will set more).
4. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Let cool for several hours but place in the refrigerator within 5 hours, covered loosely with plastic wrap.
Slice and serve with a little shipped cream and chocolate shavings.
We were a little heavy on the whipped cream and forgot the sprinkles or chocolate shavings. But it was enjoyed anyway!
