Bev's Decadent Chocolate Pie
Ingredients
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie shell
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven's temperature setting to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
To create the chocolate filling, combine 2 cups of sugar, cocoa powder, and flour in a saucepan. Mix well with evaporated milk and vanilla extract.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks until smooth. Then, stir the egg yolk mixture into the chocolate filling.
4
Add butter to the chocolate filling and heat it, stirring continuously, until the butter is just melted.
5
Pour the chocolate filling into an unbaked pie crust.
6
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for approximately 35 to 40 minutes, or until it is just set.
7
To prepare the meringue topping, beat egg whites in a bowl until they become frothy. Gradually add sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
8
Spread the meringue topping evenly over the pie filling, making sure to cover it completely.
9
Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned and golden.
