1 can(s) 1 -12 oz can carnation canned milk
1/4 c or less water to add to the carnation milk to make 2 cups
2 tsp vanilla bourbon extract
1 dash(es) sea salt

Steps:

  • 1. 1/3 C All Purpose Flour 1 1/2 C White Sugar 1/4 "Heaping" C Hersheys Cocoa, not sweetened, (I like my Pie rich so I always put in MORE Cocoa) 3 Egg Yolks, "reserve egg whites for Meringue. 1/4 C Unsalted Butter 1 12oz. Carnation Canned Milk + enough water to make a full 2 Cups. Dash of Salt
  • 2. Combine Flour, Sugar, Cocoa & Salt in medium saucepan mix thoroughly until ALL combined. In a 2 C measuring cup add a 12oz. Carnation milk + however much water to make 2 Cups, perfect amount, then add the 3 egg yolks to the milk mixture in the measuring cup MIX WELL until egg is well combined.
  • 3. Next SLOWLY pour milk, water and egg mixture into medium saucepan over dry ingredients while stirring constantly over medium heat, then drop in the 1/4 C. unsalted butter melt completely, mixing slowly & thoroughly, turn flame up to medium high keep mixing & adding liquid slowly until all milk is added. Make sure you bring mixture to a boil and it thickens, this can take up to 10 minutes maybe more, you want the mixture to thicken nicely, which you'll notice it does by the way it sticks to the sides of the pan, keep mixing until everything is incorporated and thick. Don't be afraid of overcooking as long as you're stirring it, it will NOT burn, watch your flame. If mixture isn't thick keep cooking. When removed from heat add Vanilla and stir until well combine, Your Pie should not be runny at all. Once cooked and thickened immediately pour into a 9" prebaked pie shell. Next prepare Meringue!
  • 4. For Meringue, I have my own secret recipe as I love meringue to be tall, "see photos" Most of you have your own already.
  • 5. My personal pie crust, for a 9" pie, if using a double crust double recipe 1/2 C. + 1/4 C. All purpose Flour 1/2 tsp salt, mix will with pastry blender add 1/4 C unsalted butter cut up NOT room temperature, Blend well with Pastry blender. Once blended Add 1 tblsp of water at a time, using a fork mix well, until dough isn't too sticky. I usually add 4 to 5 but if doubling recipe for double crust use 7-8 tblsp water. Flour surface and hands as well as rolling pin, put dough on floured surface roll out adding very little flour at a time to keep the dough from sticking to surface and rolling pin. Roll into a perfect circle, once rolled out to your pie plate size fold in half put baking dish in front of crust slip into dish halfway and unfold the other side to fit over the dish, flute to your liking. If baking crust for a cream pie prick bottom and sides and bake in hot oven 425* for 12-15 minutes depending on your oven temperature and the browning of pie crust you desire.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 9-inch pie crust, store-bought or homemade, unbaked (fitted in a pie plate)
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated whole milk
3 large eggs, separated
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place pie crust in plate on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until crust is golden, about 20 minutes. Cool completely; set aside.
  • Put a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl; set aside. In a medium saucepan, off heat, whisk together 2/3 cup sugar, the cocoa powder, flour, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Gradually whisk in evaporated milk. Whisk in egg yolks.
  • Place pan over medium heat; whisking constantly, cook until the first large bubble forms, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low; whisking constantly, cook 1 minute.

Tips:

  • For the perfect chocolate cream pie, use high-quality chocolate. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will give the pie a rich, decadent flavor.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before you start making the filling. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites when making the meringue. Overbeaten egg whites will be dry and stiff, and they won't hold their shape well.
  • Be careful not to overbake the pie. The center of the pie should be just set, but still a little wobbly.
  • Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help the filling to set and the flavors to meld.

This chocolate cream pie with meringue is a classic dessert that is sure to impress your friends and family. With its rich chocolate filling, creamy meringue topping, and flaky crust, this pie is a true showstopper. The tips in this article will help you make the perfect chocolate cream pie every time.
