How to Make Luby's Cafeteria Chocolate Chess Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, melted butter, and unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the evaporated milk, light corn syrup, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Carefully pour the batter into your 9-inch pie crust.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (it shouldn't be completely clean). The center might still appear slightly jiggly.
  7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
