Chocolate Pie

Chocolate Pie
2 1/2 cups sugar
2/3 cup corn starch
6 Tablespoons cocoa
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 cups milk
6 egg yolks
4 Tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
Mix, sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, and salt in a large sauce pan. Whisk in about half of the milk to dampen. Add egg yolks, and whisk well. Then stir in the rest of the milk. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium-high heat until thick. Remove from the stove and stir in butter and vanilla until butter is melted. Pour into a baked pie shell. Top with meringue using the recipe below.
MERINGUE:
6 egg whites
3/4 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon corn starch
1/2 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
Begin whipping egg whites with a whisk. In a separate bowl combine sugar and corn starch. Once egg whites are at a soft peak, slowly spoon in sugar one spoonful at a time. Sprinkle in the Cream of Tartar and continue beating to stiff peaks. Spoon onto pie filling, sealing the meringue to the edges of the crust. Bake in 400° oven for eight minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely before slicing.

Just a tip on saving time to remove lumps from cocoa, cornstarch and sugar: get out your old timey sifter and sift right into your pan. This saves so much time and lump free. Love your recipes. Thank You.

[@sandyhoward1661]

I looked at my old sifter this week and thought “ why do I keep this?” Now I know, I want to make this pie, I will use you tip.

[@lilblackduc7312]

I always use a hand held strainer, like you use for lemons/oranges. My sifter only sees flour.

Including the meringue, you put 3-1/4 cups of sugar in that one pie. And six large eggs! Couldn't believe it! One cup of sugar is sufficient for the pie and a couple of tablespoons for the meringue. Two eggs are quite enough.

I just made this pie for my hubby and all he said when he came downstairs to see it cooling was "WHOA!" He licked the spatula clean from the chocolate filling and said he already knows its gonna be amazing! The hardest part of this is gonna be letting it cool completely before cutting into it! Thanks for the awesome recipe!

You can make this into a German chocolate pie by adding shaved chocolate pieces ,chopped pecans , coconut in bottom before adding pie filling. Refrigerate then add fresh whipped cream on top. Just a variation but mybfamily loves it. Yours looks delicious thank you.

[@Areanelf]

This brings back fond memories of Mommy. She wouldn't do anything as fancy as your scrumtious looking pie. She'd cook a box jello pudding and milk on the stove, pour them into premade crusts she baked beforehand and heap cool whip on top instead of your delectable meringe lol. it was chilled and eaten cold and she called them chocolate cream pie . It wasn't fancy but it was Momma :) Thanks for stirring memories of Her and thanks for all of your great recipes.

[@vikithomasson7772]

That is exactly what I have done for years! My husband is very allergic to milk so I have to use a milk substitute. I use a chocolate graham cracker crust though and add chocolate chips to topping. Thankfully milk substitute options have improved so I’m slowly trying new recipes. Ty for posting this great recipe! I also make a butterscotch pudding pie the same way that the whole family insists on having at Thanksgiving and Christmas!

One thing I was taught was placing plastic wrap over top of filling pressing out the air before putting hot pie into fridge to cool down. It prevents the hard skin from forming if you leave pie out to cool uncovered. I guess you could still let it cool on counter with wrap but fridge cools it faster.

[@dianejohnson9904]
