Chocolate Pies

That’s right, plural. Not one pie, but two, because if you’re going to descend into a diabetic coma, you may as well do it right.

1/2 cup self rising flour

4 tbsp cocoa, level

4 egg yolks

4 cups milk

2 cups sugar

1/2 stick butter

2 tsp vanilla extract

Your favorite pie crust recipe, cooked (2 shells)

Mix sugar, flour and cocoa. Add egg yolks and beat. Add milk and mix thoroughly. Pour into double boiler where butter will be melting. Cook over low heat until thick, stirring constantly. Stir in vanilla and pour into cooked crusts.

You can use the egg whites to make a meringue, or just top with some whipped cream.

Needless to say, you can also cut the recipe in half to make just one pie, but really – why have just one pie when you can have two?
