Hometimes with Chocolate Pie

When I lived with Mama DJ the second time around, she would host amazing dinners with 4 courses. Everything was the best you had ever tasted. The best part, there was always dessert. I've been trying to recreate her chocolate pie. It's a hard thing to do. This one comes close to the one in my memory.



Chocolate Pie

Ingredients
1 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup dark chocolate cocoa
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup dark chocolate or semisweet chocolate morsels
1
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 325F.

2. Combine sugar, flour, cocoa, butter, eggs, vanilla and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir in chocolate morsels. Spread batter evenly in a lightly greased 9-inch pie plate.

3. Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
