    1. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Roll out the room-temperature pie crust over a pie baking dish, crimple the edges, and bake according to package directions. Let cool down completely.

    2. To make the filling: sift the flour, sugar, and cocoa powder into a medium-sized bowl.

    3. Using a fork, mix the egg yolks into the dry ingredients as well as you can.

    4. Whisk in the milk, little by little until fully incorporated.

    5. Strain the mixture into a medium-sized saucepan to remove any bits and pieces that didn’t mix well.

    6. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract.

    7. Pour into the baked pie crust, let cool down completely, and refrigerate for an hour to overnight.

Can I Use Less Sugar or Use a No-Calorie Substitute?

Yes, you can either use less sugar (I wouldn’t go with less than ½ cup) or use a no-calorie sweetener like Splenda, Monk Fruit sweetener, or Stevia. Add a little at a time until the mixture reaches your desired sweetness.

Can I Use Non-Dairy Milk to Make Chocolate Pie?

Absolutely! You can use almond, coconut, cashew, oat, or soy milk to make this pie. Use the same amount as regular milk.

How to Store Homemade Chocolate Pie?

Let the filling cool down completely before placing it in the refrigerator. After 15-20 minutes, cover the pie with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
