Step 1

Mix together egg yolks and sugar.

Step 2

Slowly add flour and cocoa.

Step 3

Add milk a little at a time

Step 4

Add butter

Step 5

Bring to a boil and cook slowly until thick.

Step 6

Add vanilla and pour over cooked pie crust.

Step 7

Beat egg whites and salt with mixer at medium-high speed until stiff.

Step 8

Gradually add sugar, a few spoonfuls at a time, beating the whole time.

Step 9

To tell if the sugar is dissolved when you are beating egg whites for meringues, rub a bit of the foam between your fingers. If it feels gritty, the sugar is not dissolved, so keep beating for a few minutes. It should feel completely smooth when the sugar is dissolved.

Step 10

Use a small spoon or spatula to make high peaks and decorative swirls in the meringue before baking.

Step 11

Bake the meringue at 325 ℉ for 20 to 30 minutes.

Step 12

To cut baked meringue into serving pieces, use a knife dipped in cold water.

Step 13

This type of pie is best served the day it is made.

Step 14

Remember, meringue pies only last a day or two, and then the meringue starts breaking down. If you place any cooked meringue in the refrigerator (no matter how long you baked it), it will bead and weep. Prepared meringue pies should be stored under an inverted bowl at room temperature.
