I Need a Recipe!

I'm looking for a recipe for an old-fashioned chocolate pie (not the kind with pudding, milk, and Cool Whip that you chill).  I want the kind with cocoa, egg yolks, sugar, etc. that you cook on the stove into a thick custard and then put into a pre-baked crust.  I know I can find recipes online, but if any of you have one that you think is really good, please let me know. My mom used to make a good chocolate pie, but I don't have her recipe and she's no longer here for me to ask.

No cocoa, and whole eggs, but I've never made anything from Maida Heatter that I haven't loved.   So it's probably great (although I can't guarantee that since I haven't made it).

I looked in my Mom's recipe box (which means it is pre-1973) and she has a recipe for chocolate cream pie marked "Hershey's" that calls for Hershey cocoa and starts with scalding milk over a double boiler. Sounds old school if you're interested.

I have two Hershey's cookbooks from quite a few years ago.  I'll do some looking to see if it's there. Thanks!

I'm guessing my Mom got the recipe from the back of a can of Hershey's cocoa.

I took out some diaries of my Mom's earlier this year. She made pies about every week.
