Ingredients
- ½ tsp Cream of tartar
- 1 ¾ cup Sugar
- 1 Baked pie crust
- 1 cup Cocoa
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 2 cups Milk
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 4 Large eggs seperated
Instructions
- Combine 1 1/4 cups of sugar, flour, and cocoa in a medium saucepan.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the milk and egg yolks, then gradually whisk this mixture into the saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and bubbles.
- Remove from heat, then stir in the butter and vanilla until the butter melts.
- Cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming while you prepare the meringue.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. In a mixer, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar at high speed until foamy.
- Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, one tablespoon at a time, and continue beating until stiff peaks form and the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Pour the chocolate pudding into a cooled, baked pie crust.
- Spoon the meringue over the pudding, spreading it carefully to cover the pudding and seal the edges of the crust.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden brown.
