The recipe for this Old Fashioned Chocolate Pie was published on my site 5 years ago. At that time I didn’t take any photos of the recipes so this one remained without images. Last few days I finally found time to take pictures of the pie so that I can share them with you.
Homemade pie crust is filled with sweet and silky chocolate cream, resembling chocolate pudding. It is topped with meringue which is baked in the oven for only 10 minutes – just enough to get slightly golden color.
