Notes: Ok, I've played around with this recipe and have found the following things to work: 1. Cocoa can be doubled or tripled, it only makes it better. 2. Hershey's extra dark is better than regular cocoa 3. King Arthur sells Double Dutch or Black cocoa. These are even better and make an incredibly rich pie. 4. This is a real test of your arm muscles. Stir frequently, constantly, and you can nudge the temp up to medium high if you stir religiously. 5. Lastly, don't be afraid to cook it longer than 3 minutes. The longer the thicker the filling, just don't burn it.
