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



Paula Deen's Rich Chocolate Meringue Pie Recipe - (3.9/5) image

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.

Categories     Candy

Time 20m

Yield 64 squares, 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1 cup salted peanuts
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Grease an 8" square baking dish with butter, oil or cooking spray. Line with waxed paper, leaving the edges of the waxed paper to hang over the edges of the dish.
  • In a medium, heavy bottomed saucepan, melt the chocolate chips with the milk over medium low heat. Stir in the butter until completely melted. Stir in the peanuts, vanilla and salt. Using a rubber spatula spread the mixture on the bottom of the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours. Using a hot, dry knife, cut into 1" squares.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your brownies will be. Use real butter, semisweet chocolate, and pure vanilla extract.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the brownies until they are just set: Overbaking the brownies will make them dry. Bake them until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them set and prevent them from crumbling.
