CHOCOLATE MERINGUE PIE

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
3 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups milk, scalded
2 square (1-ounce each) unsweetened chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cornstarch
8 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup water
Pinch salt
3 egg whites

Steps:

  • Make the crust:
  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and salt. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives used like a scissor, or mix with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the ice water over the flour mixture, tossing with a fork; adjust enough of the remaining water, by the tablespoon, tossing, so that the dough holds together. Flatten into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, with a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough into an 11-inch circle. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the edge under to make a stand-up edge; crimp. Prick the bottom all over with a fork. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove the pie plate to a wire rack to cool.
  • Make the filling:
  • In a heatproof bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks to break up, and then set aside. In a small, heavy saucepan, stir together the sugar, flour and salt. Gradually stir in the scalded milk. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking, until thickened and bubbly, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir a little of the hot mixture into the yolks. Stir the yolk mixture back into the saucepan. Heat over very low heat, stirring, for 2 minutes, and do not let boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Whisk in the chocolate, butter, and vanilla until melted and smooth. Scrape into a clean bowl. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the filling and let cool for 10 minutes. Remove the plastic wrap and scrape the filling into the piecrust. Cool on a wire rack.
  • Make the meringue:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a small saucepan, stir together the cornstarch, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, and the water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat. In a large bowl, add the salt to the egg whites. With an electric mixer at medium speed, beat just until soft peaks form. Add the cornstarch mixture and beat until creamy. Gradually beat in the remaining sugar and continue to beat until soft peaks form, 6 to 8 minutes. Spread the meringue mixture over the cooled chocolate filling, make sure the meringue touches the piecrust edge all the way around. Bake until the meringue is golden and its internal temperature registers 150 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve soon after. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers.

CHOCOLATE MERINGUE PIE



Chocolate Meringue Pie image

Provided by Virginia Willis

Categories     dessert

Time 3h20m

Yield One 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into pieces
1/4 cup solid vegetable shortening, chilled and cut into pieces
3 to 8 tablespoons ice water
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
2 cups whole milk
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 large eggs, separated
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of fine sea salt
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted

Steps:

  • For the beginner's pie crust: Combine the flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Add the butter and vegetable shortening and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds. With the processor on pulse, add enough of the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together without being sticky or crumbly. Shape the dough into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill until firm and the moisture has distributed evenly, about 30 minutes.
  • Flour a clean work surface and a rolling pin. Place the dough disk in the center of the floured surface. Starting in the center of the dough, roll to, but not over, the upper edge of the dough. Return to the center, and roll down to, but not over, the lower edge. Lift the dough, give it a quarter turn and lay it on the work surface. Continue rolling, repeating the quarter turns, until you have a disk about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Ease the pastry into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim 1 inch larger than the diameter of the pie plate; fold the overhanging pastry under itself along the rim of the plate. For a simple decorative edge, press the tines of a fork around the folded pastry. To make a fluted edge, using both your finger and thumb, pinch and crimp the folded dough. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • To blind-bake the crust, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Crumple a piece of parchment paper, and then lay it out flat over the bottom of the pastry. Weight the paper with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice; this will keep the unfilled pie crust from puffing up in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and remove the paper and weights. (You can reuse the rice or beans for blind-baking a number of times.) Return to the oven and bake the empty shell until a deep golden brown, about 10 more minutes (for 30 minutes total).
  • For the filling and meringue: While the pie crust is warm, brush the bottom with the melted chocolate and set aside.
  • In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of the milk and the granulated sugar. In a bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup of milk, the cocoa powder and flour and whisk thoroughly to combine. Heat the saucepan with the milk-sugar mixture over medium-high heat until simmering. Slowly add the milk-flour mixture and stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Add the egg yolks, whisking constantly, and heat until it returns to a boil. Once the mixture comes to a boil, immediately add the vanilla and remove it from the heat. Pour the mixture into the baked pie crust. Set aside to cool completely and set, about 2 hours at room temperature or 1 hour refrigerated.
  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • To make the meringue topping, place the egg whites in a nonreactive bowl with a pinch of salt. Add the cream of tartar and, using a hand-held mixer, whisk on high speed until foamy. Sift over the confectioners' sugar a little at a time and whisk until the whites are glossy and hold stiff peaks when the whisk is lifted.
  • To finish the pie, spoon the meringue over the pie, making sure it touches the edges of the pie crust. Bake until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a serrated knife, cut the pie into wedges and serve.

PAULA DEEN'S RICH CHOCOLATE MERINGUE PIE RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Provided by kshepherd322

Number Of Ingredients 14

MILE HIGH MERINGUE:
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 1/2 cups whole milk
4 egg yolks, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9-inch) prepared pie crust, baked
5 egg whites, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
10 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon clear or regular vanilla extract
Unsweetened cocoa powder, if desired

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. In a large heavy saucepan, combine flour, cocoa, and sugar. Stir in milk and egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wire whisk, until mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Pour mixture into prepared piecrust. Using the back of a spoon, spread meringue (recipe below) over hot filling, sealing to edge of pie crust. Bake for 23 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. Sift cocoa over the top of the pie if desired. Store in refrigerator. MILE-HIGH MERINGUE: Separate a cold egg by transferring the yolk between the broken halves and letting the white drip into a small bowl. Transfer the white into a metal or glass mixing bowl. Separate the next egg over the small bowl as well-not over the mixing bowl. This way, if some of the yolk gets in the white, then you have lost only one egg. Let egg whites come to room temperature. Beat the egg whites at the mixer's top speed until the mixture looks like sea form on a beach. Add cream of tartar to the foam to help stabilize the meringue. Keep beating egg whites at high speed until they reach soft peaks. When you lift the beaters from the beaten egg whites, the peaks will stand up straight and then fall over. Add the sugar gradually, about a tablespoon at a time, all while beating at a high speed. When you lift the beaters, the meringue pulls into pointy peaks that stay that way. At this stage, add the vanilla, and beat just long enough to mix it in.

CHOCOLATE MERINGUE PIE RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Chocolate Meringue Pie Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Caryl

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (9-inch) pie crust, store-bought or homemade, unbaked (fitted in a pie plate)
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated whole milk
3 large eggs, separated
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Place pie crust in plate on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until crust is golden, about 20 minutes. Cool completely; set aside. Put a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl; set aside. In a medium saucepan, off heat, whisk together 2/3 cup sugar, the cocoa powder, flour, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Gradually whisk in evaporated milk. Whisk in egg yolks. Place pan over medium heat; whisking constantly, cook until the first large bubble forms, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low; whisking constantly, cook 1 minute. Immediately pour mixture through prepared sieve into bowl. Stir in butter and vanilla. Pour warm filling into baked crust; cover surface directly with plastic wrap. Chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day. Preheat oven to 450°F. Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites, remaining 1/3 cup sugar, and remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue on top of filling, right up to edge of crust; bake until meringue is lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh egg whites. Older egg whites will not whip up as well and may result in a meringue that is not as stiff.
  • Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before you start whipping them. This will help them whip up more quickly and easily.
  • Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing the speed as the whites begin to foam. This will help to prevent the whites from becoming overbeaten.
  • Stop whipping the egg whites when they reach stiff peaks. Stiff peaks are when the whites hold their shape when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.
  • When folding the meringue into the chocolate mixture, do so gently to avoid deflating the meringue.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help to prevent the pie from sinking in the middle.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the pie to set properly.

Conclusion:

Chocolate meringue pie is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and fluffy meringue topping, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Follow these tips to make the perfect chocolate meringue pie every time.
