Chocolate Meringue Pie
Chocolate Meringue Pie is a classic traditional pie that has a smooth creamy rich chocolate filling topped with a fluffy meringue. This deliciously indulgent dessert is a classic!!
Chocolate Meringue Pie is a such a amazing dessert. It never fails to please.
Don’t be intimidated by the meringue. It’s so super easy. I remember the first time making meringue. I didn’t think I could ever get those egg whites to whip up stiff enough to make them presentable but you know what? It was really pretty simple.
Now it’s like nothing to whip up a meringue. It’s like anything , once you do it one time you will find it easier the next time and so on.
Whenever we make this Pie it is the first dessert to disappear from the dessert table. It is always included in our Holiday dessert table and the perfect dessert to serve after a company dinner.
Combine sugars, cornstarch, gelatin, salt and milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat, constantly whisking to combine. Add in chocolate and allow to come to a boil. Boil for one minute and remove from heat. Add vanilla.
Beat egg yolks together and slowly pour one cup of the pudding mixture into the egg yolks while constantly whisking to prevent eggs
from cooking. Pour egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan and mix all together. Pour into the pre-baked pie crust.
PIN IT!!
To make the meringue, add egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar and beat all three ingredients together until still and able to form peaks.
Spread meringue over the top of the pie to the edge of the crust, sealing the pie. Bake in preheated 350-degree oven for 15 minutes. Chill prior to serving. See so simple to make!
I swear the hardest part of making this pie is keeping the spoon out of the chocolate filling!
