CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE

  • 9-inch pie crust
  • 2 tablespoons shortening
  • 6 tablespoons flour
  • 1½ cups milk
  • 2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, shaved
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 egg yolks, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
  • 2 egg whites, stiffly beaten
Melt shortening and add flour, milk, chocolate, sugar, and salt. Heat slowly to boiling point, stirring constantly, until thick and smooth. Remove from heat. Add yolks and vanilla. Turn into pie crust. Beat confectioners' sugar into egg whites until a stiff meringue is formed. Top pie with meringue. Bake at 325° F. until a delicate brown, about 15 minutes. Whipped cream may be substituted for meringue. One-half cup chopped pecans may be added to filling just before turning into pie crust.
