Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
⅔ cup white sugar
⅛ teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
3 egg yolks, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter
1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
3 egg whites, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 tablespoons white sugar

Steps:

  • In 2 quart saucepan, sift and mix together flour, cocoa, 2/3 cup sugar and salt. Whisk in milk. Over medium heat, and stirring constantly, cook until it reaches pudding thickness. Remove from heat.
  • Very quickly beat in egg yolks, 1 teaspoon vanilla and butter; beating briskly until completely mixed and smooth. Cool in pan.
  • Pour into baked, cooled pie shell. Top with meringue.
  • Meringue: chill beaters and bowl. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • With electric mixer on high, beat 3 egg whites and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to stiff peaks. While still beating egg whites, add 10 tablespoons sugar, one tablespoon at a time.
  • Spread meringue over pie, and bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 12 minutes or until meringue turns pale brown. Remove from oven. Place on level, draft-free area at least 30 minutes to cool before serving.
