Ingredients

FOR THE CRUST

1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
2 teaspoons Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
½ cup Vegetable or canola oil
2 tablespoons Milk

FOR THE PIE

¼ cup Cocoa
¾ cup Sugar
1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon Salt
2 egg yolks (lightly beaten)
1 1/2 cups Whole milk
½ teaspoon Vanilla
1 tablespoon Butter
Whipped cream or Cool Whip and chocolate curls, optional for serving

Instructions

Heat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
The crust is made by mixing flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Mix together oil and milk; place in a 9-inch pie dish, fluting edges if desired. It takes between 10 and 12 minutes to bake.
Pour the milk, egg yolks, cocoa, sugar, flour, salt, and flour into a saucepan on medium heat.
It will take about 10-15 minutes for the mixture to bubble and thicken as it cooks. The lumps can be beaten out if they become lumpy. You will not be able to thicken it much more once it is as thick as you want it. Cooking it too long won't result in thickening.
Stir in the butter and vanilla after the chocolate filling has thickened.
Let the pie cool for about 1 hour after you pour the chocolate filling into the baked pie crust.
Serve warm, at room temperature, or chill for 2-4 hours before serving. Add chocolate curls and whipped cream, if desired.
