Hello!

I am looking for a chocolate pie recipe that I used for years, but lost in a 
recent kitchen renovation.I have found similar recipes online, but none 
are exactly right. I'm almost positive I can remember most (if not all) of 
the ingredients because I made it so many times.

The recipe definitely included:
-unsweetened cocoa powder (I use Hershey's, but I don't think the brand was specified)
-skim milk
-corn syrup (this is the one ingredient that is never included in the recipes I've found).
-vanilla extract
-eggs
-egg white
-flour
-butter

The recipe possibly included:
-corn starch
-salt

I feel certain the recipe was from Cooking Light magazine, but my 
searches have been unsuccessful. It also included a pre-made (Pilsbury?) 
pie crust and a 9-inch pie pan. I remember the instructions were to bake 
for a certain time (maybe 20 minutes) before turning the pie and cooking 
some more. The mixture was poured into the crust and baked all together, 
rather than cooked on a stovetop and refrigerated.

I could almost recreate this recipe if I could only remember the quantities. 
But I always mess it up. Please help!

Thanks for everything you do,
Jessica

Hello Jessica,

Sorry, I cannot find a recipe like that from"Cooking Light," nor can I find one that matches your list of ingredients.

All I can do is post this for reader input. I will not forward any recipe that does not contain your "definitely included" ingredients.
