West Texas Chocolate Meringue Pie Recipe
This rich, creamy chocolate pie is topped with a cloud of fluffy meringue for a dessert that feels as special as a home-cooked meal in your dream kitchen.
Ingredients for the Chocolate Filling:
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
3 cups whole milk
3 large egg yolks (reserve the whites for meringue)
1/2 cup quality cocoa powder
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
Ingredients for the Meringue:
3 large egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
6 tbsp granulated sugar
For the Crust:
1 pre-baked pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Chocolate Filling
In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, salt, and cocoa powder. Gradually add milk, stirring until smooth.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to boil.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly add 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture to the yolks to temper them, then pour back into the saucepan.
Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla.
Step 2: Prepare the Meringue
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Beat egg whites and cream of tartar with a mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until stiff peaks form.
Step 3: Assemble the Pie
Pour the chocolate filling into the pre-baked pie crust.
Spoon the meringue on top, spreading it to the edges to seal the filling.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown. Cool completely before serving.
