INGREDIENTS
For the Pie Filling:
1 pie crust, baked
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 the Meringue:
3 egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 cup sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
Bake your pie crust according to package or recipe instructions, then set it aside to cool.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together cocoa, sugar, flour, and milk. Add in the egg yolks and butter, and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a creamy filling. Pour it into the baked pie crust.
Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Spoon the meringue over the chocolate filling, spreading it to the edges of the crust. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, until the meringue turns golden brown.
Let the pie cool completely before serving.
