If I had to describe this recipe with 2 words they would be: easy & delicious
If I were to suggest how to serve it: warm with ice cream
If I were to suggest you make it with someone else… the “someone else” would be: your kids
1 stick melted butter
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
1/4 C. cocoa
1/4 C. self-rising flour
1 C. sugar
1 ready to bake regular size pie shell {not deep dish}
Mix ingredients together in bowl with fork until well combined. Avoid using a mixer if possible, over beating the filling will cause the top to rise and crack after baking. Bake at 300 degrees for 45 minutes. Let sit for 10-15 or as long as you possibly can resist. Feel free to double, triple, quadruple, quintuple, sextuple, septuple, or even get crazy and octuple this recipe. But I can’t find the word for 9-fold so you’ll have to stop at octuple.
This recipe came to me from my friend Everlie. We only go back a few months but I do cherish her friendship. She has a servant’s heart, is a wonderful wife, and a fantastic mother to three little boys. Most every time I go into her home she has something prepared on her counter for others; anything from a meal, a pie, or gifts. Just being in her home encourages me to serve others. One day a couple weeks ago I walked in and she had these lined up on her counter, wrapped in cellophane, and each had a card attached. She graciously passed her recipe on to me and it’s one that is definitely blog-worthy!
So… go ahead and try it! You won’t be sorry!
That’s it…Yum!
