In a small bowl combine eggs, evaporated milk and vanilla and blend thoroughly with a wire whisk.
In a small saucepan melt the butter over low heat.
Pour the sugar and cocoa into the melted butter and whisk together.
Slowly, a little at a time, pour the egg mixture into the sugar mixture and whisk together until thoroughly blended.
Pour into a 9 inch pie crust and place in the oven to bake for 40-45 minutes. You'll know it is done when there is just a little jiggle left in the center of the pie.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving.
