Here is the recipe for my CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE
Ingredients- for filling
1 pie crust
4 egg yolks
1 Cup of Sugar
1/2 Cup of unsweetened COCOA powder
1/4 Cup of cornstarch
3 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 1/2 Cup of milk
1 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Ingredients- for Meringue
4 eggs whites
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 Cup sugar

Pre bake your pie crust. I do so at 450F for about 8 minutes.
Adjust your oven temp to 325F. Separate your egg yolks from whites.
Filling-
In a medium saucepan stir together sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder until well combined. Add oil and milk. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat to low and continue to stir for another 2minutes. Remove from heat
Beat your yolks
Scoop several spoonfuls (about 1/2 Cup) of filling into the bowl of yolks and stir it together. Then pour yolk mixture back into filling and return to heat. Bring back up to a gentle boil, stirring continuously. Reduce heat to low and cook and stir another 2minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in butter and vanilla.
Meringue-
In a large mixing bowl combine egg whites, vanilla, and cream of tartar. Beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Slowly start adding in the sugar, mixing it in as you slowly add it. Beat on high until stiff peaks form (consistency of shaving cream).
Add filling to pie crust and smooth out. Top with meringue, spread it all the way to the crust. Bake for 30minutes. Cool on wire rack for about an hour, then chill for at least 3 hours.

I've made it this way for several years now and it always turns out nicely, not an extremely sweet chocolate pie either.

I dont even know what that is.

Me neither!

Just take empty suitcases and go on a shopping spree to buy all new clothes when you get there!
Easy - problem solved!

I’m seriously considering that!

Me neither!

I googled it. Hee hee hee. But what i found most funny is that the sites that came up was about how to get rid of it to have an immaculate lawn. And Bambam was worrying about where she was going to plant it. I feel sorry for any new house owners who buy houses where torts have been raised. They are going to have a tough time getting rid of all the weeds in their new gardens. [emoji23] [emoji23]

Just move in with Yvonne, she would love the company [emoji6]

Lol. I am sure she would kick me out. As she posted that she just wants to be left alone.

 

[CarolM]

If I ever take a trip to England, and all kidding aside, I truly hope to, I will be chatting with you well beforehand!!!
Would LOVE to have an English tea with you![emoji2][emoji173]️

Me too.

 

[CarolM]

So will not see you over the weekend but until then take care and Nos Da pawb!

Good night Lyn. Sleep tight.

 

[CarolM]

[CarolM]

NO!!!!! (Yvonne holds out the cross in front of her)

It's too hot to have dogs laying on you.

Told you that would be Yvonne's response. Whahaha.

Wow. That looks really yummy.

Good morning all. It’s a beautiful Saturday morning just before 6am.

JoesDad has confessed that he booked a channel tunnel crossing half an hour earlier than usual by mistake. [emoji849]

While I was reluctant to get up so early, it is gorgeous outside.

Not see you later. Have a great day everyone

You too. Enjoy your shopping.

That sounds so interesting. Just want to check. The first part with the sugar, cornstarch and cocoa powder are you melting the sugar? As there is no liquid in it when you are stirring it on the stove.

You guys are going to make me fatter than I already am. [emoji15]

I have caught up to myself. Which normally means i have caught up [emoji16] It is a cold overcast day here today. And I wanted to take the torts out for some sun today. Well that is not going to happen today unless it clears up[emoji53]. Yesterday i did not do so well with the pain tablets as i woke up with a headache and i tried not taking anything. But it turned into a migraine which i really really cannot handle. So i gave in. Today we try again and see how it goes. At least I am at home and can ly down if i don't feel so good. My babies will need an extra long soak today as i couldn't soak them last night as i would normally do. ( sigh) but I am sure they are fine. Sounds like everyone is set to have an awesome weekend. I am planning to have a totally relaxed one with absolutely nothing that needs to be done. So ciao for now and not chat later.

Morning all I'm up and at em early this morning for one of my herping adventures. I've had a goal to observe a box turtle this year, and morning or after a good rain is the best time to find them. I see people finding them all the time on the forum but sadly I have not seen one here in GA in some time . Hope you all have a great day and good luck on your matches.
