Making Chocolate Chess Pie is simple if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Pie Crust: Place your unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, crimping the edges as desired.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cocoa powder. Whisk until well blended.
4. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted butter, followed by the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
5. Incorporate Milk: Gradually add the whole milk to the mixture, stirring until it’s well blended and smooth.
6. Pour into Crust: Carefully pour the chocolate filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly soft in the center.
8. Cool: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
9. Chill (Optional): For a firmer texture, refrigerate the pie for an additional hour before serving.
