Chocolate Meringue Pie

List of Ingredients




2 C Sugar
3 T Cornstarch
3 C Evaporated milk
3 oz Unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
4 Egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 T Butter
2 t Vanilla extract
1/4 t Salt
1 9-inch Baked pie shell
4 Egg whites
1/4 t Cream of tartar

Recipe



Combine 1 1/2 cups of the sugar and the cornstarch in a
saucepan. Blend in the milk gradually. Add the chocolate and bring
the mixture to a boil over moderate heat, stirring frequently, and
boil for 1 minute. Blend half the chocolate mixture into the egg
yolks, then add the egg mixture to the pan and cook 3 minutes,
stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter,
vanilla, and salt. Allow the filling to cool, stirring occasionally
to keep it smooth. Pour into the baked pie shell. Beat the egg
whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Add the remaining 1/2 cup
sugar and continue beating until the egg whites are stiff and
glossy. Spread the meringue over the pie, making sure that it touches
the pie shell all around. Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 15
to 20 minutes, until the tips of the meringue are browned.
Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
Makes one 9-inch pie that serves 6 to 8 ppl.
