How to Make Mom's Riiiiich Chocolate Creme Pie

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
  2. Gradually whisk in 2 cups whole milk.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil.
  4. Reduce heat to low.
  5. Continue to cook and stir for 2 minutes more.
  6. Remove from heat.
  7. In a separate bowl, lightly beat 2 large egg yolks.
  8. Gradually whisk 1 cup of the hot chocolate mixture into the egg yolks. Then, pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan.
  9. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Cook for 2 minutes more.
  10. Remove from heat.
  11. Stir in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  12. Cover the surface of the filling with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming) and let cool completely.
  13. Meanwhile, in a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  14. Gradually add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  15. Pour the cooled chocolate filling into a 9-inch pre-baked pie crust.
  16. Spread the meringue evenly over the filling, sealing the edges to the crust.
  17. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden brown.
