Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 egg whites
• 2 egg yolks
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
• 0.25 cup butter
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups white sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Melt butter in a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat.

Step 3

Combine 1 cup sugar with cocoa and flour. Beat egg yolks with milk and add to the sugar mixture.

Step 4

Add sugar and egg mixture to the skillet with melted butter and cook gently, stirring constantly until thick. (Watch this mixture closely as it has a tendency to burn.) Add vanilla. Pour the mixture into the baked crust.

Step 5

Beat egg whites until soft peaks form; add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until meringue is glossy and stiff peaks form. Spread beaten egg whites over the hot filling. Be sure whites touch the edges of the crust.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until the meringue is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
