How to Make Chocolate Meringue Pie The Best Ever
- **Make the Chocolate Filling:** In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups whole milk until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil (about 5-7 minutes).
- Temper the eggs: Slowly whisk 1/4 cup of the hot chocolate mixture into 2 large eggs. This prevents the eggs from scrambling.
- Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining chocolate mixture. Cook for 2 minutes, whisking constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract until melted and combined.
- Pour the chocolate filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust and set aside.
- **Make the Meringue:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat on high speed.
- Beat until stiff, glossy peaks form. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- Spread the meringue evenly over the chocolate filling, sealing the edges to the crust to prevent shrinkage.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden brown.
