1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions
THAW pastry sheet at room temperature 30 min. Preheat oven to 375°F.

Return egg mixture to saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat 1 min. Remove from heat. Stir in butter. Place plastic wrap directly onto surface of pastry cream and refrigerate 30 min.
