How to Make Milk Chocolate Pie
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Prick the bottom of the pie crust with a fork and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together milk, sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly until the mixture begins to thicken.
- Reduce heat to low and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks slightly.
- Temper the yolks by slowly whisking in a small amount of the hot chocolate mixture. Then, pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan with the remaining chocolate mixture and cook for 1 minute more, stirring continuously. The mixture should resemble a thick pudding.
- Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla until melted and smooth.
- Pour the chocolate filling into the pre-baked pie crust.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Spread the meringue evenly over the chocolate filling, sealing the edges to the crust.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden brown.
