Homemade Chocolate Pie

Last calendar week on Instagram I mentioned discussing our Thanksgiving bill of fare amongst my Mother inwards Law. She's hosting this year, but I'll move bringing homemade Chocolate Pie, Pecan Pie, as well as Mac & Cheese. I had several people inquire well-nigh my chocolate pie, thence I idea I'd portion the recipe amongst yous hither if yous wishing to add together it to your bill of fare this week. This is my Grandmother's recipe that my Mom made frequently equally nosotros grew up, it's definitely i of my favorite desserts that I frequently asking for my birthday. It's straightforward as well as made amongst uncomplicated ingredients, nix fancy... only delicious!

Here's what you'll need, yous probable direct keep everything yous demand on hand.

INGREDIENTS:

1 deep dish frozen pie crust

Filling:
1 loving cup saccharide (I prefer it a piddling less sweetness as well as cutting it dorsum to 3/4 cup)
1/3 loving cup flour
1 T. butter
iii T. cocoa
1/8 tsp. salt
ii egg yolks
ii cups milk (whole preferred)
1 t. vanilla

Meringue:
ii egg whites
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. vanilla
ii T. sugar

I've made it no hole-and-corner hither amongst other recipes I've shared (Pecan Pie, Bacon & Cheese Quiche) that I detect frozen pie crusts perfectly acceptable to use. If you'd rather brand your own, move my guest!

Set frozen crust out as well as let to thaw. I similar to re-crimp the edges, fifty-fifty though I choose a shortcut amongst the frozen crust I similar to larn inwards await a piddling prettier! Bake empty crust according to directions on package.

Mix the starting fourth dimension half dozen filling ingredients inwards a saucepan, gradually adding milk as well as vanilla. Stir constantly amongst a whisk on medium/high rut until filling becomes thick (pudding consistency).

Pour filling into baked pie crust as well as smoothen top.

Prepare meringue past times using a paw mixer to mix the eggs whites, cream of tartar, as well as vanilla inwards a drinking glass or metallic bowl. Whip until soft peaks form, as well as then function along mixing spell gradually adding saccharide until strong peaks form.

Gently scoop meringue out onto hot pie filling, as well as then spread to cover, sealing meringue to edges of crust.

Have fun making the overstep pretty if you'd similar to! Bake inwards 350 grade oven for 10-12 minutes until meringue is golden brown. If peaks are getting also chocolate-brown also quickly, loosely lay a piece of foil over the overstep until cooking fourth dimension is over.

If the meringue intimidates you, it is non necessary! You tin definitely whip only about heavy cream or only spread cool whip on top. The filling is the best purpose anyway! ;)

If desired, shave a fleck of chocolate to sprinkle on overstep of cooled pie. I only used a vegetable peeler along the border of a chocolate bar.

Slip your pie inwards a pretty pie plate for a nicer presentation as well as fix to scout it disappear!

This pie is delicious warm, but does best when allowed to sit down as well as cool for a fleck earlier slicing. I genuinely prefer it mutual frigidness or at room temperature.

I took this pie to our church building Thanksgiving Dinner Lord's Day night, as well as it was gone inwards a hurry! It genuinely is an tardily as well as fairly quick pie to make, thence I'll move whipping out only about other i this calendar week for Thursday. What's your favorite Thanksgiving dessert?
