WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
This old-fashioned sweet chocolate pie with meringue is a classic for a reason. These old recipes like this are just delicious and stand the test of time, which is one of the many reasons why we love it. Any gathering we have ever taken it to, we have always come home with an empty pan.
SWAPS & ADDITIONS
Many people will make this without the meringue and just add cool whip. So you can swap that out if you like. You can also leave the meringue off altogether and just have a basic chocolate pie.
This pie is delicious!!
It is the first chocolate cream pie that I have ever made that isn’t runny, this one is the perfect consistency!!!! I’m 74 and wish I had found this recipe much sooner!
⭐TIP
Once this pie is done, do not put it in a warm area; the meringue will wilt. Made that mistake last year, set it on the table where a vent was above, and the heat from the vent wilted the meringue.

Sweet Chocolate Pie

Ingredients
- 1 9 inch deep dish pie crust, baked
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 5 tablespoons cocoa
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 12 ounce can evaporated milk
- 4 egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons vanilla flavoring
- 4 tablespoons butter or 1/2 stick
Meringue for chocolate pie.
- 4 egg whites
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Bake your pie shell and let it cool before adding the filling. In a large bowl whisk together the sugar, cocoa, flour, milk, vanilla and eggs. Cut butter into about three pieces and add to pie liquid. (The butter will melt while cooking). Cook on top of the stove on medium high heat, stirring constantly about 9 to 10 minutes until filling thickens
- Don’t forget to stir because it will burn easily. If I think it is going to burn I move it from the burner for a minute or put it on the edge of the burner. Once the filling thickens, pour into cooled pie shell and let cool about 10 to 12 minutes before adding meringue.
Meringue Instructions
- Beat the egg whites with a mixer until peaks form. Add the sugar and beat about another minute. Spread on top of the pie and bake in 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes until brown on top. You can just put the pie under the broiler and brown the meringue that way. If you put it under the broiler, watch it carefully because it will burn easily. I usually brown mine under the broiler but you can do it either way.
