MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In 1 1/2 quart casserole dish, mix together sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, salt and 1/2 cup of milk until smooth. Once it is mixed well, stir in remaining milk. Microwave on high for 5 to 8 minutes or until thick; stir halfway through cooking.
• In a small bowl, place a small amount of the hot mixture and beat together with egg yolks. Stir back into original mixture in casserole dish. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until thickened; stir frequently. Blend in butter and the 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Pour mixture into pastry shell.
• To Make Meringue: In a small bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar at a time until stiff peaks form; stir in vanilla. Spread meringue over top of pie filling.

• Pour into a cooked 9-inch pie crust which has been allowed to cool.
• For Meringue: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Beat egg whites until foamy.

• Spread all the way to the edges and make"seal" over the filling.
• Place pie on cookie sheet.
• Bake in 350°F oven approximately 10-12 minutes or until peaks of meringue turn golden brown.

NANNY'S MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE PIES

Steps:

• This recipe makes two 9 inch pies. Cook pie shells first. Melt butter, add dry ingredients, add 2 whole eggs and six egg yolks. Save other egg whites for meringue. Add milk & vanilla last. Mix all well with a whisk. Cover with paper towel, cook in microwave for three minutes and stir. Cook for a total of 12 minutes, stirring after each 3 minute interval. Depending upon your microwave, twelve minutes should yield a stiff (grainy) pudding like texture.
• Pour into pie shells.
• Allow egg whites to sit at room temperature until you need to prepare the meringue. Beat 6 egg whites until stiff. Add one tablespoons of sugar for each egg white. Add 2-3 drops of vanilla. If not stiff add a pinch of salt or cream of tartar. "Ice" pies with meringue and brown in oven.
