Rich Chocolate Pie Recipe


"This is a "made from scratch" rich creamy chocolate pie like your grandmother used to make."
Original recipe yield: 1 deep dish pie.
Servings:
10

Rich Chocolate Pie INGREDIENTS:

  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 3 3/4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 (12 fluid ounce) cans evaporated milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 1/2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 (9 inch) deep dish pie crust, baked and cooled
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup white sugar

Rich Chocolate Pie DIRECTIONS:

  1. Whisk together 2/3 cup sugar, flour, cocoa, and egg yolks in a saucepan. Stir in milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thick. I start with a whisk and then use a spoon to stir the custard as it cooks.
  2. Remove pan from heat, and add vanilla and butter or margarine. Mix well, and pour filling into a baked, deep dish pie crust.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until peaks form. Slowly add 1/2 cup sugar, and beat again until stiff peaks form. Spread on pie.
  4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until meringue browns. Let pie cool several hours before serving.
