Chocolate Pie

2 cups milk in double boiler, or cook in heavy pan on medium heat.  Mix 1/4 tsp. salt, 2/3 cup sugar, 2 Tbs. cornstarch & 3 Tbs. cocoa.

Add enough milk to dry mixture to make a smooth paste.  Add two egg yolks beaten slightly.  Add this to the milk in the pan and cook until thick.  Add 1 tsp. vanilla.  Pour in baked pie shell.  use remaining egg whites to make a meringue, if desired.

Variation
She likes to eat this pie warm with whipped cream on top.  Make it festive by pouring a few M&M candies on the top of the whip cream before serving.

You can also line your pie shell with sliced bananas and pour the chocolate pudding over the top.
