Categories     Desserts     Pies     Vintage Pie Recipes

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 egg yolks
1 ⅓ cups white sugar
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
3 tablespoons butter
1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
3 egg whites
⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar
6 tablespoons white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Sift together the cocoa powder and the flour and pour them into a saucepan. Whisk the egg yolks and 1 1/3 cups sugar. Gradually add the evaporated milk, whisking constantly; slowly pour the milk mixture into the saucepan, whisking until combined.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a flat-bottomed wooden spoon or spatula, until the mixture begins to thicken and coats the back of the spoon, about 15 minutes. Remove the custard from the heat and stir in the butter until melted. Pour the filling into the baked pie crust.
  • To make the meringue topping: Combine the egg whites and cream of tartar in a clean glass or metal bowl; beat with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add sugar, a tablespoon at a time, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks. Spread the meringue over the chocolate filling.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the tips of the meringue peaks are golden brown.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 c white granulated sugar
1/4 c heaping hersheys cocoa unsweetened
3 egg yolk, reserve egg whites for meringue
1/4 c unsalted butter
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.

NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE WITH TOASTED MERINGUE



No-Bake Chocolate Cream Pie With Toasted Meringue image

The swirly meringue topping on this pie is stable enough to make a day ahead and keep chilled-even if you've bruleed it.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Pie:
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
6 ounces chocolate wafer cookies
Kosher salt
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted, divided
4 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups whole milk
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
Meringue and assembly:
4 large egg whites
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted
Special equipment:
A kitchen torch (optional)

Steps:

  • Pie:
  • Cook butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, until butter foams, then browns (be careful not to let it burn), 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, process cookies in a food processor until finely ground. (Alternatively, place cookies in a large resealable bag and crush to fine crumbs with a rolling pin or heavy pot). Transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Add 1/2 cup brown butter and a pinch of salt to cookie crumbs and mix until well blended (mixture should resemble wet sand). Transfer to a 9" pie dish and press evenly into bottom and up sides of dish with a measuring cup (make sure to come up all the way to the top lip of the pie dish). Chill 20 minutes.
  • Brush the bottom of crust with 2 oz. melted chocolate; return to refrigerator.
  • Whisk egg yolks and cornstarch in a medium bowl. Whisk cream and cocoa powder in a medium saucepan until no lumps remain; whisk in milk and sweetened condensed milk and bring to a bare simmer over medium heat. Whisking constantly, gradually add milk mixture to egg mixture, then, still whisking, pour egg mixture into pan. Cook over medium heat, still whisking, until mixture is considerably thickened with the occasional bubble rising to the surface (think chocolate pudding), about 4 minutes. Add remaining 6 oz. chocolate to custard and remaining 1/2 cup brown butter; whisk until smooth. Scrape into chilled crust and chill until custard is cold and set, at least 2 hours.
  • Meringue and assembly:
  • Using an electric mixer on high, beat egg whites until loose and foamy, about 2 minutes. With motor running, gradually add granulated sugar and beat until stiff, shiny peaks form, about 5 minutes. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat another 2 minutes (meringue will deflate slightly when you add the powdered sugar but will regain volume).
  • Spoon meringue over pie, swirling decoratively. Use a kitchen torch to toast meringue, if desired.
  • Do ahead
  • Pie with meringue can be made 1 day ahead. Chill.

GRANDMA'S CHOCOLATE MERINGUE PIE

Tips:

  • Use good quality chocolate for the best flavor. A high percentage of cocoa solids (70% or higher) will give you a rich, dark chocolate taste.
  • Make sure your milk and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients blend together smoothly.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites for the meringue. Overbeaten egg whites will be dry and stiff, and they won't hold their shape well.
  • Bake the pie until the meringue is golden brown and the filling is set. The center of the pie should be slightly jiggly when you shake it.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will give the filling time to set and the meringue time to firm up.

Conclusion:

Milk chocolate cream pie with meringue is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's rich, creamy, and chocolatey, with a fluffy meringue topping that adds a touch of sweetness and texture. This pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream to make it extra special.
