I baked something today for the first time in a loooooong time. So long, in fact, I had to actually look for sugar and flour because I had no idea where they were. That’s pretty serious business for me. Anywho, one of my BFF’s (Heeeey Nat!) asked if I had a chocolate pie recipe and turns out I do! It’s my great-grandmother’s and it is dabomb.com. After I sent Nat the recipe, I got to thinking and I had to make it for myself. Then I figured if I was eating it, you prolly wished you were eating it.
I also realized after Michelle posted a link about Aunt LuLu on Facebook that I hadn’t done anything in awhile to really tick her off. If giving away my great-grandmother’s chocolate pie recipe won’t infuriate the Aunt LuLu’s of the world, I don’t know what will.
aka
The Best Chocolate Pie in the History of the World
Here’s what you need:
one baked pie shell (pastry)
whipped cream to top
1c whole milk
1c sugar
2 TBS rounded cocoa
2 TBS rounded flour
1 lump of butter (a TBS)
1 TBS vanilla
3 egg yolks
Mix it together and cook in a double boiler until it thickens, while stirring often. (This takes awhile 10-15 minutes) Let the custard cool, then pour into pie shell. Refrigerate until chilled.
You can put meringue on it and bake it a little more (obviously BEFORE you chill it) if you want. I just chill it and serve it with whipped cream, because the Hubster says meringue reminds him of calf slobber. For realz. That’s what happens when you marry a country boy.
Wow.. This is yummy.. Gotta make this today, minus the meringue.. Don't much care for it myself.. thanks for sharing something so yum and easy to make..
Blessings

I remember when my mom made this for me when I was a little girl. Its the best pie ever. When mom made it she made the crust herself and would make me Pie Crust sticks with the left over dough. It was my favorite part of the pie. Still is to this day!!!! Miss you Mom and Maw, but I’m glad we have these memories!!!!
Try this one sometime, Robin. It’s easy peasy! Process about 16 regular Oreos in your food processor, and press into a large glass pie plate. Bake for about 6 mins. on 350. Meanwhile, place 2 small boxes of Jello vanilla cook and serve pudding and 4 cups of milk in a heavy saucepot. Follow directions on box for pudding. When it’s thickened, take it off the heat and add 16 ounces of good chocolate chips (I only use 60% cacao Ghiradelli chocolate chips which you can get at Walmart). Stir in the chips until all melted and pour into your baked pie shell, which should be cooling by now. Let it cool completely on the counter and then refrigerate. You can add whipped topping, meringue, or shaved chocolate to the top. YUMMY!!!!
