Best Chocolate Pudding Or Pie

Recipe By : Opal Griffin
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:30
Categories : Puddings Pies

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 oz Unsweetened chocolate -- chopped
2 1/2 c Milk -- cold
1 1/3 c Sugar
1/2 c Flour
1/2 ts Salt
2 tb Butter
3 Egg yolks -- well beaten
1 ts Vanilla
Optional Meringue:
3 Egg whites -- beaten with:
6 tb Sugar

Add chopped up chocolate to the milk in a double boiler and heat to
melt. Beat until blended. Sift sugar, flour, and salt together, and
add a small amount of the hot chocolate to it and stir. Now pour this
mixture into the double boiler with the rest of the hot chocolate and
stir. Add 2 tb butter to this and cook with constant stirring for
10 minutes longer.

Pour a small amount of this cooked mixture over the well beaten egg
yolks while stirring vigorously to keep from cooking the eggs and
immediately pour this back into double boiler and stir and cook until
thick. Watch carefully. When starting to thicken, remove from heat
and add the vanilla and stir. Cool in a baked pie shell for pie or in
6 to 8 pyrex cups for pudding.

This method of pouring back and forth with stirring helps prevent
lumps from forming.

Optional Meringue:

Beat 3 egg whites with 6 tb sugar, if wanted on pie. I prefer it
plain with maybe a little vanilla ice cream on the side.

Very rich and yummy!

Serving ideas:

As pudding, serve with milk. As pie, with small ice cream.

This is really a pie filling, but makes the absolutely best chocolate
pudding imaginable when allowed to set up in 8 pyrex custard cups.
