There is nothing better than chocolate pie, unless it’s chocolate fudge pie!  This one is a real winner!  It’s very rich so you might want to cut the servings a little smaller…then again, maybe not.

3 eggs – separated
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 stick of butter (melted)
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 Tablespoons Cocoa
2 heaping Tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 baked pie shell

Directions:

Separate eggs and set egg whites aside to bring them to room temperature.  Beat egg yolks slightly and add milk and butter.   Mix dry ingredients together and add to milk mixture.  In a double boiler, cook and stir until thick and bubbly, like pudding.  This can take 30-40 min.  Stir in vanilla and pour into baked pie shell.

Meringe

3 egg whites
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon cream of tarter

Directions:

Place egg whites in a mixer and mix on high until frothy.  Add cream of tarter and beat until soft peak stage.  Once you have reached soft peak stage slowing sprinkle in sugar and vanilla and beat until meringue forms stiff peaks.  Smooth over pie making sure to seal around edges.  Bake in 375 degree F. oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown.  Cool on wire rack for 20 minutes then put in refrigerator to chill.  Serve cold.

Note:  This pie can be served with whipped topping instead of meringue.
