- 1-1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2-2 1/2 cups milk

How To Make chocolate pie
-
Step 1Bake pie shell.
-
Step 2Combine above ingredients and cook on high until it begins to boil, turn to medium until thick. Pour into pie shell after cooling slightly.
-
Step 3When completely cooled make egg white meringue sealing edges and bake until as brown as desired.
-
Step 4I sometimes use cool whip as topping because my children never liked meringue. If using cool whip keep refrigerated. Makes 1 large or 2 small pies.
-
Step 5TIPS: I use a whisk to stir while cooking and cooling enough to put in pie shells to make consistency smooth. This also makes a delicious creamy vanilla sauce that I use for banana pudding. Just leave out cocoa, cook to desired consistency for pudding and pour over wafers and bananas.
-
Step 6**To make coconut pies,(leave out cocoa) add 1 to 1-1/2 cups (or as much as you like) coconut, change vanilla to 1/2 teaspoon and add 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract. Add coconut after cooking and I also sprinkle coconut on top of meringue or cool whip.
