Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Stir in the evaporated milk and vanilla extract until the filling is smooth and well combined.
Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is slightly cracked.
Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Variations & Tips
For a deeper chocolate flavor, you can use dark cocoa powder instead of regular. If you’re a fan of nuts, try adding a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling for some added texture. For a holiday twist, sprinkle a little cinnamon or nutmeg into the filling. If you’re short on time, you can use a store-bought pie crust, but homemade always adds a special touch. Remember, the pie will continue to set as it cools, so don’t worry if it seems a bit jiggly when you first take it out of the oven.
