In the Kitchen with Ken - Aunt Martha's Chocolate Pie

Aunt Martha's Chocolate Pie

1½ cups sugar
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 egg yolks (save egg whites for meringue)
12 ounces (1½ cups) evaporated milk




1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons butter
1 Pillsbury pie crust

Mix together sugar, flour and cocoa powder in small bowl. In larger bowl, add beaten egg yolks, evaporated milk, vanilla, and butter and mix together until stiff. Dump dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Cook in larger bowl over double broiler until thick. Pour into pie shell and let settle.

Meringue


3 egg whites
2 tablespoons sugar

Combine egg whites and sugar. Whip until mixture is shiny and stiff peaks form. Spread over pie and bake at 250 degrees until meringue is brown, about 15 minutes. Watch closely -- the meringue can brown quickly.

I had a little trouble with flour lumps in my pudding. What did I do wrong? Thanks. Otherwise, my friend and I almost ate half of the pie in one sitting. It was really delicious!

@CocinaKitchen I'm happy you liked it and thanks for giving it a try. The only thing I could suggest is maybe next time sifting your flour first and mixing all of the dry ingredients together first and then stir them into the wet ingredients until mixed together well. Thanks again I hope that helps.

Ummm egg whites need to be room temp to make meringue. Did you mean 350 ? Surely not 250?

@mukwah1111 Nope after making my meringue and placing it on the pie we cook it at 250 for 15 minute just to brown the top of the meringue. If you want to go up to 350 that would be fine I just wouldn't leave it in for as long. Thanks Ken

Ive watched a few vedio's why are you using cocoa powder, rather then Chocolate... Is their a huge difference..?????

It sounds yummy, will try it for sure!

Great recipe...however, room temp. egg whites make much fluffier meringue, not cold ones.
