This delicious chocolate pie recipe was given to me by a dear friend. This pie never is runny. If you opt to use a frozen prepared pie crust, use the deep-dish kind.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Whisk 2 cups sugar, cocoa, and flour together in a saucepan. Blend in evaporated milk and vanilla. Beat egg yolks, and stir into pan. Add butter; heat, stirring constantly, just until butter is melted. Pour filling into unbaked pie shell.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until pie is just set, about 35 to 40 minutes.
Step 4
Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue over pie filling, covering completely.
Step 5
Return pie to oven and bake until meringue is lightly browned and golden, about 8 to 10 minutes.
