1 whole Single-crust Pie Shell, Prebaked
2 cups Whole Milk
1-1/4 cup Sugar
4 Tablespoons Cornstarch
5 Tablespoons Cocoa
1/2 teaspoons Salt
2 whole Egg Yolks
1/4 cups Additional Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla
3 Tablespoons Butter
6 Tablespoons Additional Sugar
2 whole Egg Whites

1
Heat 2 cups of milk in top of a double boiler over medium-low heat.
2
Prepare a pie crust, either from scratch or store-bought (follow package instructions), place in an 8 or 9-inch pie plate, and pre-bake the pie shell since the pie is not baked.
3
In separate bowl mix the 1-1/4 cups of sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, salt, egg yolks and 1/4 cup of milk. Add this mixture slowly to the heated milk and cook, stirring constantly, until thick. Cover and continue cooking for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add the vanilla and butter. Beat until smooth. Pour into a prepared pie shell.
4
Top the chocolate filling with meringue made from the 6 tablespoons of sugar and the 2 egg whites beaten until stiff.
5
Brown the pie/meringue in a 350F degree oven. Watch closely as the meringue will burn easily. It's done when it's lightly browned.
6
I prefer to use a whipped cream topping on mine instead of the meringue but that's purely a personal choice. If you go that direction, be sure to allow the pie filling to cool completely before adding the whipped cream.
7
Enjoy!
