I have been making and decorating birthday, shower and wedding cakes for over 30 years-and I like to make this recipe for special occasions, too. I've been in charge of the kitchen at our church and prepared a great many large meals.

Steps:
- Sift sugar, flour and cocoa into a medium saucepan. Stir in milk; cook over medium heat until mixture thickens and begins to boil. Reduce heat; cook for 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Add a small amount of hot mixture to egg yolks; return all to saucepan. Cook and stir 1-3 minutes more. Remove from the heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Cool 5 minutes. Pour into pie crust. Top with nuts and set aside. For meringue, beat egg whites in a bowl until stiff but not dry; set aside. Mix cornstarch and cold water; place in a saucepan along with boiling water and boil until clear. Add lemon juice. Fold into egg whites. Slowly fold in sugar. Spread on top of pie. Bake at 350° for about 20 minutes. Chill well.

[email protected]This pie was a disaster! The meringue was too runny and the chocolate filling never set. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
