Chocolate Pie with Meringue. |
Buttermilk Pie |
thehiddenpantry.blogspot.com/2010/11/buttermilk-pie-my-oh-my.html for my grandmother's buttermilk pie recipe.
When I make a chocolate pie I dock and bake the pie shell then as it cools from the oven I make a quick and very easy chocolate filling. I let the filling sit and cool about 5 minutes while I beat the meringue. Then I spoon in the filling, spread the meringue atop, then bake the pie until beautifully browned. Lastly I choll it about 3 hours before serving.
Ingredients for Chocolate Pie with Meringue:
The filling:
1, 6 ounce box cook and serve chocolate pudding mix
3 C. whole milk
3 egg yolks
1 8-9" baked pie shell
The meringue:
3 egg whites
4 T. sugar
1/4 t. cream of tarter
pinch of salt
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Beat together the egg yolks and cold milk in a heavy bottomed medium sized sauce pan until well incorporated. Whisk in the pudding mix and cook over medium high heat until it reaches a rolling boil you cannot stir down.
Set aside.
Place the egg whites in a flat bottomed glass or metal bowl and add the cream of tarter and salt. Using an electric mixer beat until frothy. Add the sugar, sprinkling it in gently as you continue beating until soft but stiff peaks form.
Spread the chocolate filling into the baked shell, spread the meringue atop the filling making swirls. Bake 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Cool on the counter about an hour then refrigerate for 3 hours before serving.
