The custard for this pie is made with heavy cream, egg yolks, sugar, and cocoa powder. The mixture is cooked until it thickens and then poured into a pre-baked pie crust.

The combination of the two components is absolutely delicious and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

For the custard:

2 cups heavy cream
4 egg yolks
¾ cup sugar
½ cup cocoa powder

For the meringue:

4 egg whites
¾ cup sugar

For the crust:

1 9-inch pie crust, pre-baked

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. To make the custard, whisk together the heavy cream, egg yolks, sugar, and cocoa powder in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into the pre-baked pie crust.

3. To make the meringue, beat the egg whites in a medium-sized bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Spread the meringue over the top of the custard.

4. Bake in pre-heated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.

5. Let cool completely before serving.

Notes

If you want to make this recipe even easier, you can use a store-bought pre-made pie crust. This will save you time, but the flavor and texture won’t be quite the same. You can also use a chocolate cookie crust for a slightly different flavor.

To make sure the meringue is perfectly cooked and golden brown, it is important to keep an eye on it while it is baking. The meringue can go from perfectly golden to burnt in a matter of seconds, so you want to make sure to watch it closely.
