Indulge in the nostalgia of a rich and velvety Old-Fashioned Chocolate Cream Pie with a golden, lightly sweetened meringue topping. This classic dessert is perfect for family gatherings and moments of sweet reminiscence.

Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 1 pre-baked pie crust
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Meringue:

  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pie Crust: Bake the pie crust according to package or recipe instructions and allow it to cool completely.
  2. Cook Chocolate Filling: Combine flour, cocoa powder, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in milk, then add egg yolks, vanilla, and butter. Cook until thickened.
  3. Assemble the Pie: Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  4. Make Meringue: Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue over the chocolate filling.
  5. Bake the Pie: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the pie for 10–15 minutes until the meringue is golden brown.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool completely, then refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Allow the pie to cool completely before refrigerating for best results.
  • If you prefer a smoother meringue, sift the sugar before adding it to the egg whites.
  • For a quicker option, use a store-bought pie crust.
