CHOCOLATE PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Bake the pie crust until lightly golden brown.
• In a medium-sized bowl add the sugar, flour, and unsweetened cocoa and whisk together.
• Pour in the milk, vanilla extract, and egg yolks (save the whites in another bowl). Beat with a hand mixer until well combined.
• Add the butter to a skillet on medium heat.
• Next, pour the chocolate pie filling into the pan and cook until thick.
• Pour the pie filling back into a clean (and heat-safe) bowl and beat again to get rid of any lumps.
• Pour the filling into the cooked pie shell.
• Grab the bowl with the whites and add one more egg white.
• Add the cream of tartar to the bowl and beat until stiff peaks form.
• Pour the sugar into the bowl and beat again until the meringue is shiny.
• Spread the meringue over the pie. Bake at 350-degrees for about 10-15 minutes or until the meringue is golden brown.
• Allow the pie to set up for at least one hour before serving.
