Thelma's Chocolate Pie

Caution : This is a super rich chocolate pie !

Ingredients :
2 cups sugar
4 egg yolks
8 tsp cocoa + 3 tsp butter
5 tsp corn starch
dash of salt
2 1/4 cups milk
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla extract

Mix sugar, cocoa, salt, corn starch
Add egg yolks. Mix well.
Add milk and butter. Cook on top of stove until thickened. (about 30 minutes)
Remove from heat. Add vanilla extract.
Place in unbaked crust (Jiffy mix) and bake 30-40 minutes in 350F oven.

For the meringue, I used Martha Stewart's recipe :
2 cups sugar
8 large egg whites (1 cup)
3 drops freshly squeezed lemon juice

Combine sugar, egg whites and lemon juice in a bowl of an electric mixer set over a pan of simmering water. Whisk until sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes.

Transfer bowl to the mixer stand fitted with the whisk attachment.
Beat on medium speed for 10 minutes.
Increase to high speed and beat until stiff glossy peaks form, 10 - 15 minutes more.

Spread meringue on top of cool pie.
Bake in 350F until slightly brown.

Serve
