Chocolate Cream Pie

1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
1 cup milk, scalded
6 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup whipping cream, whipped
1 baked 9 inch pie crust
Extra, sweetened whipped cream (opitional but encouraged!)

In a small bowl, soften the gelatin with the 1/4 cup cold water. Scald the milk in a saucepan. Add cocoa, sugar and salt to the scalded milk and blend well. Slowly stir into the gelatin mixture until gelatin dissolves all the way.

Let stand until the mixture begins to thicken. Stir in vanilla. Fold in whipped cream until all the white is gone.

Pour into baked piecrust. Chill until set and garnish each serving with extra whipped topping.

A lot of people top this off with about an inch of meringue, but meringue isn’t liked around our house nearly as much as homemade whipped cream!
