Ingredients
- 3 eggs separated
- 1 ¼ cups sugar
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup cornstarch
- 3 cups milk
- 3 tablespoons butter softened
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 9-inch pie shell baked and cooled
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the 3 egg yolks until thick and lemon colored. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa, salt, and cornstarch. Stir in about one cup of the milk.
- Place the saucepan over medium high heat and with a large whisk, gradually add the remaining 2 cup milk, whisking constantly until well blended.
- Bring to a low boil. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
- Add a small amount of the hot mixture to the egg yolks, stirring well, then add the egg mixture back to the cocoa mixture in the saucepan.
- Cook for about 2 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken, stirring constantly. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the cooked, cooled pie shell. (Note: the chocolate mixture should be somewhat thickened but will finish setting up as the pie cools.)
- Add the egg whites to a large mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed until foamy. Gradually add the 1/4 cup sugar. Increase speed to high and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the meringue immediately on the hot filling and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown on top.
Notes
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in a tightly closed container.
- When making meringue, the eggs need to be at room temperature to get the most volume possible when making meringue. For best results, make sure that the bowl and beaters are scrupulously clean.
