Chocolate Cream Pie. Normally, I stick to pumpkin pie, peach pie and apple pie when baking pies. For our Christmas dinner this year, I decided to shake things up a bit and make something different. I wanted chocolate. OK I usually want chocolate. So I made a chocolate cream pie recipe.

Chocolate dream in the form of a pie. Chocolate lovers will be in cocoa heaven. Easy to put together too.
In the mixer bowl, cream together egg yolks and sugar. Add the cornstartch, cocoa powder, and salt. Make sure it mixes as the cocoa and egg yolks can get stuck on the bottom of the bowl.
Add the milk and stir gently.
Pour all of this mixture into a saucepan. Cook over medium heat while stirring constantly, until it boils.
Take the pan off the heat and add in the margarine and the vanilla extract. Cool for a few minutes, then pour the chocolate mixture into the two pie shells.
Chill completely before serving. Add whipped topping if desired.
Notes
The original recipe called for one 9 inch pie shell. I had two 8 inch pie shells and the filling was enough to fill both very adequately. My advice would be to have two pie shells ready just in case.

One happy surprise happened. The recipe called for one 9 inch pie shell to be pre-baked. I was happy to find out that this filling was enough for two 8 inch pies! Yummy. One for Christmas day and one for today!
