This chocolate pie is rich and creamy, and the flavor is almost like fudge! The pie can be topped with a meringue topping or whipped cream. Makes 1 pie.

Filling:
1 1/3 cups white sugar
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 T butter
1 can (12 ounce) evaporated milk
1 tsp. vanilla

Meringue:
3 egg whites
6 T white sugar

1 9" pie shell, baked

Combine sugar, flour and cocoa in a deep saucepan. Beat egg yolks with milk. Slowly add to sugar mixture. Cook over medium heat until thick, stirring with a flat bottomed wooden spoon. Remove mixture from heat, and stir in the butter and vanilla. Pour filling into baked pie crust.

To make meringue topping: whip egg whites in mixer. Add sugar one tablespoon at a time until peaks form. You may need to add cream of tartar (1/2 tsp) to help add stiffness. Spread the meringue over the pie. Bake at 325 degrees until the peaks of the meringue are slightly browned.

Spread the word
