MOM'S MOST REQUESTED CHOCOLATE PIE



Mom's Most Requested Chocolate Pie image

This chocolate pie is not only a Southern traditional dish, but my mom has to make 2 to take to church lunches. Most people go back for dessert only to find all the pie gone - the smart ones get their piece on the first trip through. This is pie is also served as "birthday cake" on most everyone's special day. And the only way to top it off is with a piled-high meringue!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
  • Make sure the butter is cold and cut into small pieces before adding it to the flour mixture. This will help to create a flaky crust.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crust tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the crust from shrinking in the oven.
  • Use a pie plate with a removable bottom for easy slicing and serving.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. This will take about 45-50 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

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