Prepare & bake pie crust in a 9" pie plate and allow to cool. Search my blog recipe on how to blind bake a pie crust. Also search my blog for homemade pie crust, if desired.
In a medium sauce pan add unsweetened cocoa powder, cornstarch, sugar, & salt. Whisk together. Add in vanilla & egg yolks. Mix together slightly. Turn on burner to medium heat. Slowly add in milk a little at a time then whisk. Keep adding in milk and whisking until all incorporated. Once mixture starts to bubble, keep whisking until mixture thickens to a pudding consistency. Turn off burner.
Add mixture to a cooled baked pie crust and smooth out evenly. Place in refrigerator to set up and chill for at least 2 hours. Garnish with whipped topping.
