Ingredients
8 servings
- •1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
- •0.25 cup butter
- •1.25 cups white sugar
- •2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- •3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- •2 egg yolks
- •1 cup milk
- •0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- •2 egg whites
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Melt butter in a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat.
- Combine 1 cup sugar with cocoa and flour. Beat egg yolks with milk and add to the sugar mixture.
- Add sugar and egg mixture to the skillet with melted butter and cook gently, stirring constantly until thick. (Watch this mixture closely as it has a tendency to burn.) Add vanilla. Pour the mixture into the baked crust.
- Beat egg whites until soft peaks form; add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until meringue is glossy and stiff peaks form. Spread beaten egg whites over the hot filling. Be sure whites touch the edges of the crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the meringue is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
