chocolate pie recipe

It's been a gorgeous 2 days here and I've been outside as much as possible. I wanted to do a real quick post though. My 1/2 Dozen Daily made a request for the chocolate pie recipe that we had on Sunday for "Pi Day". Here it is!!! Enjoy!

This is the only chocolate pie I've ever made...I used this recipe since I was married in 1992 and still love it!

Chocolate Pie

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup flour
3 tablespoons cocoa
3 cups milk
4 eggs, separated
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
1 tablespoon butter
1 9" baked pie crust
3 tablespoons sugar

Mix sugar, flour, and cocoa thoroughly; add milk gradually until well mixed. Stir in egg yolks, reserving egg whites. Cook in heavy saucepan, stirring constantly until thickened. (You want it to get as thick as possible...like pudding). Remove from heat; add vanilla and butter. Pour into the pie crust.

Beat egg whites until stiff; add sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Place meringue on pie and bake until golden brown.
