This is one of the very few recipes that I can say I had a hand in creating. It is the result of several attempts at different recipes that just did not taste the way I wanted. Nothing was wrong with the other recipes, they were actually good, just not what I was looking for. So, I started experimenting and this is what I came up with. Hope you enjoy this pie as much as we do.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3 1/2 Tbsp baking cocoa
2 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup flou1 tsp vanilla extract
4 eggs beaten egg yolks - Save your whites if you want meringue on top
9 inch baked pie shell - deep dish is recommended
1/2 stick butter or margarine
In large saucepan combine sugar, salt, cocoa, milk, vanilla and egg yolks. Cook on med high to high heat (depending on how hot your stove "eyes" usually get) while stirring Constantly until thickened. Pour into baked pie shell.
If you do not wish for meringue: let pie cool and serve.
For meringue: Preheat oven to 350. Beat 4 egg whites with 1/4 cup sugar on high speed until it forms small stiff peaks.
Spread on pie and place in oven until browned.
