Chocolate Pie

I'm not a huge pie fan, but I'm a complete sucker for chocolate pie. Our pastor's wife made this for our family and it's amazing.

• 1/3 c. cocoa
• 1 c. sugar
• 1/3 c. flour
• 2 c. milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 t. vanilla
• 1 T. butter
• pinch salt
• 1 (9-inch) baked pie crust
• whipped cream

1. Mix cocoa, sugar, and flour together. Put mixture into medium-sized saucepan. Add milk, stirring slowly to mix.
2. In a separate container, beat eggs slightly, then whisk into saucepan mixture. Heat over medium heat.
3. **Stir this mixture once it gets warm to keep it from sticking and burning on the bottom.**
4. Add vanilla, butter, and a pinch of salt. Cook and stir until thick and bubbly.
5. Pour into baked pie crust.
6. Cool on counter or refrigerator before serving.
7. Garnish with whipped cream.
