Instructions

  1. Prepare the chocolate filling: In a medium bowl, blend together the sugar, cornstarch, flour, and salt. Gradually stir this mixture into the hot milk in a saucepan.

    🥛 Be cautious with the temperature; using hot milk helps to create a smoother filling.

  2. Cook over boiling water, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.

    🔥 This step may take about 10-15 minutes, but patience is key for a creamy consistency!

  3. Once thickened, add the square chocolate and stir until completely melted and smooth.

  4. Take a small amount of the chocolate mixture and slowly mix it with the beaten egg yolks to temper them. Then return the yolks to the chocolate mixture.

  5. Cook for another 2 minutes, remove it from heat, and mix in the vanilla extract.

    🍫 For an extra chocolatey flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead!

  6. Pour the chocolate filling into a prepared pie shell and let it cool.

  7. Make the meringue: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.

  8. Carefully spread the meringue over the cooled chocolate filling, making sure to seal the edges.

    🥄 Use a spatula to create peaks and swirls for an artistic look!

  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until the meringue is golden brown.

  10. Cool completely before slicing and serve chilled for the best texture.
