Ingredients

For the Filling

  • 2 cups (400g) Sugar
  • 5 Tablespoons (30g) Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • ¼ cup (30g) All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 can (12oz) Evaporated Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 4 Egg Yolks beaten
  • ¼ cup (57g) Butter
  • 1 (9 inch) Unbaked Pie Crust

For the Meringue

  • 4 Egg Whites
  • ¼ cup (50g) Sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  • In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, and flour.
  • Blend in the evaporated milk and vanilla.
  • Add the beaten egg yolks and stir into the saucepan.
  • Add the butter and place the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until the butter is completely melted.
  • Pour the pie filling into the unbaked pie shell. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pie is not wobbly when shaken.
  • Using a stand mixer on high speed with a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites until soft peaks begin to form. Gradually add the sugar, beating constantly, until stiff peaks begin to form.
  • Spread the meringue on the pie and return the pie to the oven. Bake until the meringue is golden, about 5 minutes.
