 Chocolate Pie | Status Approved | | Name |  Chocolate Pie | | Category | The Bakery, Desserts, Cakes & Pastries | | Serves/Yields | 8 servings | | Source | My Mom, Eunice Brown | | Difficulty | Easy | | Prep. Time | 10 minutes | | Cook Time | 20 minutes | | Introduction | | My Nephew Tony loves my Mom's chocolate pie. The grand kids called my Mom "Meems". This recipe is dedicated to you Mom, thanks for all you taught me.
Mom always topped this pie with meringue, but I prefer whipped cream. Either way this is a great old fashioned pie. Mom never measured anything much, just as I do now. I had to stand by and catch and measure what she put in to get this recipe. The pudding is also great all by itself. | | Ingredients | | 3/4 cups granulated_sugar
2 whole eggs (if making meringue ,seperate eggs and use the yolks in the pudding and save the whites for the meringue)
2 Rounded Tbsp all_purpose_ flour
1 level Tbsp corn_starch
1/2 tsp salt
5 Tbsp unsweetened_cocoa
2 Tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla_extract
2 cups whole milk (preffered)
1 pre baked 9 inch pie shell or a purchased graham cracker crust | | Directions | | Step: 1 | In a 2 quart sauce pan, combine the dry ingredients and whisk to blend well. Add the eggs and a little milk and mix well, then slowly add the remaining milk and the butter.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until pudding comes to a slow boil. Continue cooking and stirring until pudding begins to thicken.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Cool pudding for about 20 minutes.
Stir again and pour into pie shell. | | Step: 2 | For meringue topping. Place egg whites in a glass or copper bowl and beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until whites are foamy. Continue beating and gradually add 2 Tbsp granulated sugar. Continue beating until meringue forms soft peaks when the beater is lifted, but take care to not over beat and have dry stiff peaks.
Spoon meringue over pudding and swirl to form nice curves and peaks. Place pie in oven pre heated to 400 F and bake until meringue is a pale golden brown, about 10 minutes. Chill pie before serving. |
