FOR THE PIE CRUST: – Preheat oven at 375 degrees.

INSTRUCTIONS

1

– Defrost pie crust for at least 15 minutes, and prick bottom and sides with a fork to avoid shrinking and bubbling of the crust.

INSTRUCTIONS

2

Carefully cover crust with aluminum foil or parchment paper, and fill with beans or rice in a preheated oven (I say “carefully” because the edges tend to be very fragile).

INSTRUCTIONS

3

– Place on a baking sheet and bake on the middle rack of your oven for about 12 -15 minutes until light golden. Remove the beans/rice and cook the crust on its own for an additional 3-4 minutes.

.– Remove from the oven and set aside while you finish your pie filling.

INSTRUCTIONS

5

FOR THE PIE FILLING: – Mix cornstarch with a ½ cup of cold Promise Land Midnight chocolate flavored milk to form a smooth paste.

INSTRUCTIONS

6

– In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, cinnamon stick, and the remaining milk and bring to a simmer, stirring continuously (about 4-5 minutes).

INSTRUCTIONS

7

– Stir cornstarch mixture until smooth again and gradually pour it into the simmering chocolate milk, whisking rapidly. If you don’t mix it well before pouring it into the chocolate milk, it will form lumps. If you want, use a strainer to pour it into the saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
