How to make Grandma’s Chocolate Pie
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F.
Step 2: Place the cocoa, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and egg yolks in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Mix well, then slowly add the milk.
Step 3: Cook the mixture over medium heat while stirring for about 5 to 10 minutes until the mixture bubbles and thickened. Beat out the lumps if the mixture becomes lumpy.
Step 4: Continue to cook until the mixture is thick, beating it smooth.
Step 5: Into a pre-baked pie shell, pour the mixture. Place in the fridge to chill before serving. Enjoy!
Tips:
Ensure to cook the custard in the pan until it reaches the proper smoothness.
To make the meringue, beat the egg whites with salt until fluffy, then add the sugar. Into the baked pie shell, pour the chocolate custard and top with the beaten egg whites. Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes or until the peaks on the meringue is lightly browned.
