Ingredients
UnitsScale
2 large eggs
1/4cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled a bit)
1 5ounce can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
1 1/4cups granulated sugar
3 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 (9-inch) pie crust, homemade or store bought
Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving
Instructions
Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Add eggs and butter to a blender container (I use a Ninja). Blend for about 10 seconds. Add evaporated milk, vanilla extract (if using), sugar and cocoa powder. Blend again until all ingredients are incorporated.
Pour filling into the pie crust. Bake for about 50 to 55 minutes or until the filling sets and there is a thin crust on the top. The center may still be a little jiggly, but it will set as the pie cools.
Remove from oven and let cool completely.
Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping, if desired.
