Zubereitung von Grandma Thelma's Chocolate Meringue Pie
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 cup cornstarch until well combined.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups whole milk until smooth.
- Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a bubbly boil.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large egg yolks. Gradually whisk in about 1 cup of the hot chocolate mixture until combined. Pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan.
- Return the saucepan to medium-low heat and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the hot filling into your prepared pie crust.
- In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Spread the meringue evenly over the hot filling, sealing the edges to the crust to prevent shrinkage.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.
