the meringue didn't work out so well but the chocolate pie itself was amazing, one of the best chocolate pies i've eve had. It was thick and very rich almost like fudge. I replaced the meringue with a whipped cream topping since mine fell after taking it out of the oven.

I make this recipe all the time...it's my favorite pie! The custard tastes darker at first than it really is. It gets much, much sweeter after it cools. Everyone who has tried it loves it. Highly recommended!

This is definitely NOT my great-grandmother's pie...the filling tasted like brownie batter pudding.

I failed horribly at the eggs and making them peak, needless to say I have a soupy layer of egg mush on my chocolate filling. Would having a mixer with whisk attachments help, or did i not do it long enough? It looked so easy online. Otherwise everything else was fine. I just took the pie out of the fridge, this is an all together fail, I have chocolate, egg, soup.

It was so easy to make and required very little supervision. My boyfriend and I are eating it right now, and find it very delicious. I would definitely make this again!

This is the closest tasting recipe to my grandma's chocolate pie that I have found. A couple of small additions to the directions: Stir all your dry ingredients together very well. Add milk. Stir over medium heat until warm. Take a few spoons of the chocolate mixture and mix in with your egg yolks BEFORE adding to the rest of the chocolate mixture. It will help it blend better and reduce the risk of overcooking your eggs. This ingredient list does need to be at least doubled for a 9 inch pie crust, and with the additional egg whites you have the option for more meringue. It's simple, my five year old can make it, and everyone loves it!

I followed the recipe exactly and the filling was.not enough and did not form. The marangue was short a few egg whites and would have been short as well for a 9 inch pie. first I will find a functioning pudding recipe then attempt this again. epic fail!

Just made this for a pre-thanksgiving dinner. The chocolate pie and the meringue was great. I read what another reviewer wrote and used five eggs white for the meringue. You have to do this because there is NO way only two would cover the entire pie top. Also, I cooked the pie for 10 minutes let it cool then added the meringue and put it back in the oven until golden on top. Don't know if this made a difference or not. Just did what another reviewer suggested.

I didnt have a clue what I was doing but did all the step and got the best pie ever. My husband and child ate all of it the first night no left overs in my house. I guess I will have to make two next time to get just one piece. Thanks for such a good recipe
