OLD FASHIONED CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE
This recipe was given to me by a neighbor when I was a young bride 47 years ago. I have passed it on to my daughter-in-law, and it is a favorite of her five brothers and sister. Warning: The filling is very rich, almost gooey--that's what makes it so good. You can mix the filling ingredients in the standard way for cream pies and cook them over low heat, stirring constantly as I did until microwaves were invented. Now, I prefer to cook mine in the microwave.(I do not have lumps in microwaved cream pies as I sometimes do when I use the standard cooking method).

Steps:
- Whisk dry ingredients with milk in a large glass heat-proof bowl and cook on high in the microwave.
- Whisk every 3 or 4 minutes.
- Separate eggs and beat egg yolks in a medium bowl while the liquid cooks.
- When the liquid begins to thicken, wisk ladle-fulls of the hot liquid into the beaten egg yolks.
- Strain the egg mixture back into the microwave bowl, whisking again to keep it smooth.
- Continue to microwave until the filling begins to look sort of "cakey" around the edges.
- Whisk to return it to the creamy texture.
- After cooking it this way once, you will become accustomed to consistency and appearance at certain stages.
- When the pie filling is quite thick, remove it from the microwave and add butter and vanilla.
- Pour into the baked pie crust and cover with meringue.
- Prepare meringue while the filling cools: Beat egg whites until "peak" stage.
- Add sugar gradually, beating constantly.
- Add vanilla.
- Spread meringue on pie and bake in a 400° oven 8 to 10 minutes until the meringue has toasty peaks.
