Zubereitung von Old Fashion Chocolate Pie
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake your pie crust according to package directions or your preferred recipe and let it cool completely.
- **Make the Chocolate Filling:**
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups evaporated milk until fully combined.
- Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 3 large egg yolks. Temper the yolks by slowly whisking in 1/2 cup of the warm milk mixture.
- Pour the tempered yolks into the saucepan and whisk constantly until the filling thickens further and is smooth and glossy, about 1-2 minutes. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pour the filling into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface, and refrigerate to cool completely.
- **Make the Meringue Topping:**
- Once the filling is completely cooled, prepare the meringue.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat 3 large egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, beating on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- **Assemble the Pie:**
- Pour the cooled chocolate filling into the cooled pie crust.
- Spread the meringue evenly over the filling, ensuring it seals to the edges of the crust.
- Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours for best results.
