Chocolate Pie

RECIPE: Chocolate Pie

1. In a small bowl, beat egg yolks, and set aside. 
   
2. In a saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa, corn starch and salt.  Stir in milk and begin to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook until mixture thickens and comes to a boil.  Allow to boil for 1 minute and remove from heat.  You will need to "temper" the eggs before adding them to the pan. This can be a little tricky. (If you just add the eggs to the pan, you will have scrambled eggs in your chocolate sauce!)
   
3. With a large ladle, scoop some of the hot sauce (about a cup or so) and pour it into the eggs while beating the eggs with the other hand. Mix it together well, and pour it back into the pan.
   
4. Return pan to heat, and cook one more minute, stirring constantly.
5. Remove from heat, stir in butter and vanilla, stirring until butter is melted and all is mixed smooth.
6. Pour sauce into pie shell.  Allow to cool to room temperature and then cover and place in refrigerator to chill.
