    I gotta tell you. I felt like cooking today. So I made Mexican chimichangas and all the fixings and your chocolate pie. I did use my mamas recipe, which is almost the same. She used flour instead of cornstarch. That’s the only difference and a stick of butter. Can’t remember how much you used. I think a half stick? Anyway, I made it in the microwave and it was so easy and less cleanup. Thank you so much. My meringue looks fantastic!

    This is my mom and grandmothers recipe too! My mom passed away two years ago and I always thought I had plenty of time for her to teach me her pies. I always had trouble with mine. My mom made the most beautiful and delicious pies! Every Christmas she made two chocolates meringues, two coconut meringues, two pecans and a lemon meringue. That was just the pies lol. She made the most perfect pie crusts I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing your tips. I like the microwave idea. I think I can do this now! Btw, I’ve never seen a mixer like yours..

    Hi Tammy!! This wonderful chocolate pie checks all the boxes for my crew who are firmly convinced that both sugar and chocolate are deserving of their own separate categories on the "food pyramid!" We've made this countless times! My crew gives this their version of a 5-star rating....i.e. no leftovers!! Taking a few minutes to make the homemade chocolate pudding in the microwave is so easy to do! . Grandmother made it on the stovetop but when "Santa" gave her a microwave for Christmas one year, she quickly learned to use it and often made her puddings just as you're doing in this video. My mother did the same. My ever-hungry crew has mastered the chocolate pudding in the microwave, too! It's made it easy to whip up a few for sharing as well. As always, Tammy and Chris, thank you for this video demo of one of your delicious recipes. I know your pastor enjoyed it as much as we all do!! Thanks again and God bless!

    Another tip. If you put some butter on either side of whatever you slice the meringue with, the butter will keep the meringue from sticking to the cutting instrument. Prettier slice of pie that way with no ragged edges to the meringue.
