Deep Chocolate
This recipe is famous. We always make it for Thanksgiving, but it certainly works just fine on any day of the year.

Grandma's Chocolate Meringue Pie
This is one of the best pies you will ever make, especially if you're a chocolate lover. Its ingredients do not depend on any season, and it is mouth-wateringly good served warm or cold.
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 eggs, separated
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 9-inch baked pie shell, cooled
You can make this pie in a Standard Pie Pastry or a Vanilla Wafer Crust.
Although this recipe calls for whole milk, I have used 2-percent milk with very good results.
The serving dishes in our photograph are Fiesta dinnerware.
