Preheat oven to 350º F.
Whisk sugar, cocoa, and espresso powder (if using) and salt
together. Pour butter and evaporated milk into sugar and cocoa
mixture and beat on high speed. Add vanilla and eggs. With mixer
speed on high speed, mix for approximately 2-3 minutes to lighten.
Pour mixture into 9 inch unbaked pie shell and bake for 35-40
minutes. The center of the pie will be a bit soft. Allow to cool on a
wire rack for at least an hour before slicing. The pie will continue to
set as it cools.
