This is a delicious chocolate pie that I remember my mother making from the time I could remember such things. I'm sure she made up the recipe herself.

How To Make my mother's chocolate pie

  • Step 1
    Cook sugar, salt, milk, cocoa, flour, and egg yolks in double boiler until thick.
  • Step 2
    Add vanilla and butter. Pour into baked pie crust.
  • Step 3
    Most of the time, Mother made a meringue from the egg whites and browned the pie in the oven. Later in life, she used either real whipped cream or Cool Whip instead, and I liked that just as much. Easier!
