CLASSIC CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE
I made this pie once, years ago, and had lost the recipe. Then I found it was included in my new Hershey's Chocolate recipe box that DeLena gave me for Christmas! This is the old-fashioned, from-scratch method which I have avoided over the past several years in favor of quick, easy, and time-saving newer recipes. But NOTHING...

Steps:
- 1. Combine chocolate and 2 cups milk in medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, just until mixture boils. Remove from heat and set aside.
- 2. Stir together sugar, flour, cornstarch and salt in medium bowl. Whisk remaining 1 cup milk into egg yolks in separate bowl; stir egg mixture into sugar mixture. Gradually add to the chocolate mixture. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until mixture boils; boil and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla.
- 3. Pour into prepared crust and press plastic wrap directly onto surface. Cool, then refrigerate until well chilled. Top with whipped cream, if desired.
- 4. Another option: Using the 3 egg whites left from getting your egg yolks, make a meringue topping. 1~ Whip egg whites with 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually whip in 1/4 cup sugar until stiff peaks form and mixture glistens. 2~ Spread on top of cooled pie, forming swirls and peaks. Bake in preheated 400° oven about 7 minutes until meringue is lightly browned.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the pie will taste. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overcook the chocolate pudding. Overcooked pudding will be thick and grainy. Cook it just until it is thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will give the pudding time to set and the flavors to meld.
- Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious and creamy topping to the pie.
Conclusion:
This classic chocolate cream pie is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and creamy texture, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this classic chocolate cream pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
