Chocolate Cream and Meringue Pie

I have to say for the Holidays I am all about the desserts. For Easter as you know I am trying to find some desserts to make that everyone will love. This pie has a homemade pudding and pie filling and a meringue on the top. It is so good. I do believe though when I make it for the actual Easter holiday I am going to change the crust up to a graham cracker crust. My hubby that he would like that better. but for me I liked both. The pudding is not so rich just creamy and good tasting. You could easily do just whipped cream on top instead of the meringue.

The combination of creamy meringue and the creamy pudding is so good.

Gather your ingredients.

Stir together your dry ingredients in a sauce pan add in your eggs.

Slowly add in your milk all while stirring or whisking constantly. Bring to a boil.

Add to your prebaked pie crust.

Whip up your egg whites with the sugar and cream of tarter as the recipe states. Ad to the top of your cooled pie and place under the broiler until browned lightly. Watch very closely or use a kitchen torch.

Enjoy!
