Chocolate Pie

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

For the pie, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, egg yolks, evaporated milk, and water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Then add vanilla and stir well to combine. Pour chocolate mixture into the pre-baked pie shell.

For the meringue topping, beat the egg whites and a pinch of salt on high speed until stiff. Add the sugar and continue to beat for a few more minutes. Put on top of the pie filling and bake approximately 10 minutes at 400ºF.

I prefer this pie when it is still a bit warm, but my husband likes it chilled in the refrigerator, so it’s definitely personal preference on how to serve. Enjoy!
