My grandmother made the best chocolate pie in the world. I’m not just saying that because she was my grandmother. This woman could make chocolate pie that would make you cry actual tears of joy.
When I first got married, I tried to recreate her recipe about fifty times. Every single one was a disaster. Too thin, too thick, lumpy, burnt, you name it.
Then my aunt finally sat me down and showed me what I was doing wrong. Turns out, I was overthinking everything. This pie is actually pretty simple once you know the tricks.
What Makes This Chocolate Pie Different?
This isn’t one of those instant pudding pies you see everywhere. This is the real deal, made from scratch with cocoa powder and patience.
The filling is cooked on the stovetop until it’s thick and glossy. The meringue gets piled high and baked until it’s golden brown on top.
It’s the kind of pie that makes people ask for the recipe. Then they never make it because they think it’s too hard. But honestly, it’s not.
