Chocolate Cream Pie: Retro Ad & Recipe

Love these Retro Ads. Here's a Baker's Chocolate'story' ad for Chocolate Cream Pie. Just as easy a recipe today as it was then.... Thanks "Miss Betty Linton"


CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE

Ingredients
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
2 cups milk
2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate (or substitute your favorite chocolate)
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked

Directions
Combine sugar, flour, milk, and chopped up chocolate in 2 quart saucepan. Stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until mixture begins to bubble. Continue stirring for 2 minutes.
Mix a little of the hot mixture into the egg yolks, beating rapidly to avoid cooking the yolks. Stir the warm yolk mixture into the remainder of the chocolate mixture, and cook for an additional 90 seconds. Remove from heat, and stir in butter or margarine and vanilla.
Pour filling into pie shell, and chill until set. Top with whipped topping, and a little grated chocolate.

  2. Hello. How much sugar goes into this? I think it was left off the ingredients list. Thanks!

  3. Sorry about that. The original recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar. You might want to make it more like 3/4 cup sugar. Thanks for letting me know.
