1 - 9" Pillsbury ready made pie crust
3 egg yolks (save the egg whites for the meringue, recipe to follow)
1 tbsp butter, melted
1 cup sugar
3 tbsp flour
3 tbsp cocoa
pinch of salt
1 - 1/4 cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla
meringue (recipe follows)
Butter a 9" pie pan. Prepare and bake pie crust according to box instructions.
In a saucepan over medium heat mix beaten egg yolks with melted butter. Gradually blend in sugar, flour and cocoa; mix well. Gradually whisk in milk. Stir constantly until thickens like a pudding consistency. Pour into baked and cooled pie shell. Let the filling cool before making meringue.
Meringue:
3 egg whites
6 tsp sugar
Blend with an electric mixer on medium-high for about 8 - 10 minutes until peaks form. Pour meringue over chocolate filling. Bake in a 450 degree preheated oven, until meringue browns, about 3 minutes.
