How To Prepare:

• Mix cocoa, cornstarch, beaten egg yolks; sugar and salt, then add milk gradually, while stirring in a pot over med-high heat.
• Cook until thick, beating it smooth.
• Cream pies take some time to thicken, so stir… and stir (10-15 min).
• Using a heavy bottom pan really helps. Just keep it up until it thickens.
