Chocolate Meringue Pie
Slice of Chocolate Meringue Pie on Autumn Flowers Salad Plate and Yellow Floral Tablecloth
Wanting a chocolate dessert for Thanksgiving, I devised this recipe. It was so good, I'm using it for all holidays going forward! I adapted the crust for Passover with this recipe.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 store-bought graham cracker crust, such as Keebler's
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 large egg yolks
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, softened
- 3 big scoops Marshmallow Fluff
DIRECTIONS:
- In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, salt and egg yolks. Whisk until fully mixed.
- While continuing to whisk, gradually pour in the milk.
- Constantly whisking, bring the mixture to boil over medium heat. Once bubbles start to form, continue to whisk but reduce the heat to a simmer for about 1 minute.
- Remove from the heat but continue to whisk. Pour in the chocolate and butter.
- Discarding any clumps that may have formed, pour the chocolate mixture into the graham cracker crust.
- Allow to cool for at least 3 hours.
- When ready to serve, dollop the fluff into the middle of the pie.
- Enjoy right away or up to 1 day.
