Easy Chocolate Meringue Pie
Jan 05, 2025 08:42 AM
This delicious Chocolate Meringue Pie recipe has a creamy chocolate filling and fluffy meringue, baked in a flaky crust. An old fashioned recipe you’ll love!
I enjoy a traditional Lemon Meringue Pie, but sometimes I crave a more indulgent version with chocolate. The result? This Chocolate Meringue Pie.
If you imagine lemon meringue pie with a chocolate filling instead of tart lemon, that’s what you get here.
This is the kind of dessert that will impress your guests (or family) when you make it. And who wouldn’t appreciate some recognition for their efforts in baking?!
The filling is rich and decadent, with cocoa powder and semisweet chocolate for double the chocolate flavor.
If you’d like, you can start with store-bought pie crust to give yourself a little shortcut, but you must make everything else from scratch. No pudding mix used here!
