How to cook deliciously - Grandma's Chocolate Custard Pie

1. Stage

Mix sugar, flour, and cocoa powder together in a bowl until well combined.

2. Stage

Mix milk, egg yolks, and vanilla together in a separate large bowl. Add flour mixture and blend custard until smooth.

3. Stage

Pour custard into a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring continually, until slightly boiling but not popping, about 5 minutes. Cook just until reasonably thickened, 3 to 5 minutes more, and remove from heat immediately. Stir hot custard to smooth out any lumps and pour into the pre-baked pie shell.

4. Stage

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

5. Stage

Combine egg whites, sugar, and vanilla for meringue in a small bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until peaks start to form. Spread meringue over custard.

6. Stage

Cook under the preheated broiler just until the peaks start to turn light brown, 1 to 2 minutes, being very careful not to let meringue burn.

7. Stage

Place the custard pie in the fridge or on Grandma's porch on a cool night until the custard congeals, about 2 hours.
