Chocolate Pie

Who doesn't love a good ole chocolate pie? Especially from Grandma! This isn't my own grandma's recipe however it is still very good! Thank you Homesicktexan blogger!!

Ingredients for pie filling:

• 4 tablespoons of cocoa
• 3/4 cup of sugar
• 5 tablespoons of flour
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1 1/2 cups of milk
• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
• 1 tablespoon of butter
• 2 egg yolks, beaten slightly

Ingredients for meringue:

• 2 egg whites
• drop of lemon juice
• 4 tablespoons of sugar

You will also need a pie crust. You can make your own or just buy one at the store. I used the regular in this one, but the oreo crust is a very good choice also.

Directions:

• Separate egg whites and yolks of two eggs and set aside 
• Mix all but the vanilla and butter filling ingredients by whisking
• cook while stirring in a sauce pan on medium heat until very thick and bubbley or about 5 or 10 minutes ( resembles pudding)
• remove from heat and add vanilla and butter
• Meanwhile poke wholes in pie crust with fork and bake at 350 for about 10 minutes
• Now beat egg whites and lemon until fluffy with electric mixer
• then slowly add in the sugar while still beating until fluffy and whipped
• Pour chocolate filling onto pie crust and carefully and evenly top with meringue
• bake on 350 for about 10 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned

Enjoy hot or cold!
