Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your pie cooks evenly and thoroughly.
- Take the pre-made pie crust out of the packaging and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Gently press it into the dish and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, large eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to avoid any lumps. Ensure that the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Pour the filling mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top has a slight crack. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes. After that, refrigerate the pie for at least 30 minutes to fully set.
- Before serving, top the pie with a generous layer of whipped cream. You can either spread it evenly over the top or create decorative swirls and peaks using a spatula or piping bag.
- Slice the pie into 8 equal servings and enjoy your delicious Ragged Rock Black Bottom Pie!
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure a smoother, more consistent filling.

- Allow the pie to cool completely before adding whipped cream to prevent melting.
- For a professional touch, use a piping bag to create beautiful whipped cream decorations.
