Ingredients:
Here’s what you’ll need to create this delectable Chocolate Pie:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 1/2 | cups sugar |
| 4 | tablespoons flour |
| 6 | cups milk |
| 4 | teaspoons vanilla |
| 3 | pinches salt |
| 1 | baked pie shell |
| 1 | Meringue (see instructions) |
Instructions:
1. Mixing:
- In a saucepan, combine 2 1/2 cups sugar, 4 tablespoons flour, 6 cups milk, 4 teaspoons vanilla, and 3 pinches salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
2. Cooking:
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring continuously, until it thickens to a custard-like consistency. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes.
3. Filling:
- Once the mixture has thickened, pour it into a pre-baked pie shell. Ensure the pie shell is cooled before adding the filling.
4. Meringue:
- To prepare the meringue, start by beating 3 egg whites until they become foamy. Gradually add 6 tablespoons sugar while continuing to beat the mixture. Beat until the mixture is shiny and stiff peaks form.
5. Topping:
- Spread the prepared meringue evenly over the chocolate filling, covering the entire surface. Use a spatula to create decorative peaks, if desired.
6. Browning:
- Preheat your oven to 370Β°F (187Β°C). Place the pie in the oven and brown the meringue lightly for about 8 minutes. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
7. Serving:
- Once the meringue is lightly browned, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Slice into generous portions and enjoy the delicious taste of nostalgia!
