OLD FASHIONED CHOCOLATE PIE 🍫🥧
A classic dessert featuring a silky chocolate filling topped with fluffy, golden meringue. You have to try this!
INGREDIENTS:
1 pre-baked pie crust
1/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 cups milk
3 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract
For Meringue:
3 egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 cup sugar
INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1: BAKE THE PIE CRUST
Bake your pie crust following the package directions or your favorite recipe. Set it aside to cool.
STEP 2: PREPARE THE CHOCOLATE FILLING
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, flour, and milk. Add the egg yolks and butter, then cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a smooth, creamy filling. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla, and pour into the cooled pie crust.
STEP 3: MAKE THE MERINGUE
In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
STEP 4: BAKE THE MERINGUE
Spoon the meringue over the chocolate filling, spreading it to touch the edges of the crust. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, until the meringue is golden and toasted.
Let the pie cool completely before serving.
