Zubereitung von Mom's Most Requested Chocolate Pie
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, salt, and milk until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens to the consistency of pudding (about 8-10 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and fully incorporated.
- If any lumps remain, use a whisk or immersion blender to smooth the filling.
- Pour the chocolate filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
- Prepare your favorite meringue recipe. (Note: A classic meringue recipe is suggested in the additional information section.)
- Spread the meringue evenly over the chocolate 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 lightly browned and firm to the touch.
- Let the pie cool completely to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture.
