Chocolate Meringue Pie recipe

Ingredients

  • 3 egg yolks, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons  all purpose flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Hersheys unsweetened cocoa
  • 1 12-oz can evaporated milk
  • 1/2 stick butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring (I use real mexican vanilla)

Making

Cook a regular (not deep dish) pie shell and set aside.

Mix egg yolks, sugar, flour, cocoa, evaporated milk and butter in a saucepan. Cook it on medium heat and constantly stir it with a flat metal spatula to scrape the bottom and sides of the saucepan. Continue to cook until it is pudding consistency. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Use a hand mixer to stir to mix in the vanilla, and to get any possible lumps out of the mixture. Pour into the pre-cooked pie shell.

For Meringue

  • 3 egg whites (make sure there is NO egg yolk in the egg whites)
  • 4 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon cold water
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla flavoring (I use real mexican vanilla)

Put egg whites and cold water into a mixing bowl and begin beating with hand mixer. Gradually add the sugar. After meringue has formed into soft peaks, add vanilla and mix a few seconds more. Spread meringue onto chocolate mixture, making sure you bring the meringue all the way to the edge of the crust. Brown meringue in a preheated 450 degree oven, about 5 minutes. Remove pie from oven and cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!
