Ingredients
1 9 baked pastry shell
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
6 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cup milk
3 egg yolks -- slightly
1 beaten
1/2 cup butter
2 tsp vanilla
1 meringue
4 egg whites
1/2 tsp cream of tarter
6 tbsp sugar
Directions
Combine sugar, flour, cocoa and salt in medium saucepan; stir in
milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture boils;
remove from heat. Stir half of the mixture into beaten egg yolks;
return mixture to sauce pan. Continue cooking and stirring over
medium heat until mixture boils; boil and stir for 1 minute. Remove
from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. Cool for 10 minutes, pour
into pie shell. Heat oven to 350 F.
Meanwhile, prepare meringue topping: In a small mixer bowl, beat egg
whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add sugar and beat
until stiff peaks form. Spread this on warm pie filling, carefully
sealing to the edges of crust. Bake 5 to 8 minutes, or just until
meringue is lightly browned. Cool to room temperature; chill for
several hours. Refrigerate leftovers.

The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced back into antiquity, certainly as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, these, old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find a couple of interesting recipe books which were published in the fourteenth century - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books have no connection with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the menus of the rich and wealthy people of those days. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookbooks were in high demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased leisure time and disposable income. |
We hope you enjoy this Chocolate Cream Meringue Pie recipe.
