¾ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons self-rising flour
1 tablespoon cocoa powder, or more to taste
2 cups whole milk
2 eggs, separated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pre-baked pie shell
1 pinch white sugar, or to taste
1 dash vanilla extract, or to taste

Steps:

  • Mix sugar, flour, and cocoa powder together in a bowl until well combined.

  • Place the custard pie in the fridge or on Grandma's porch on a cool night until the custard congeals, about 2 hours.

IRON SKILLET CHOCOLATE PIE

My dad loved chocolate meringe pies and I tried many recipes before finding this one in a Virginia cookbook. It was by far his favorite and he was a chocolate pie conniseur.

Tips:

  • To ensure a flakier crust, use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • When making the chocolate filling, use a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water to melt the chocolate and butter together. This will prevent the chocolate from scorching.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate or a combination of dark and semisweet chocolate.
  • Top the pie with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries for an extra special treat.

Conclusion:

This classic chocolate pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, chocolatey filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this iron skillet chocolate pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
