INGREDIENTS

2 (9 inch) deep dish pie shells, baked (bought or homemade) 2 cups sugar 6 tablespoons cornstarch 6 tablespoons good quality cocoa powder 1?4 teaspoon salt 6 eggs, separated 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring (NOT ARTIFICIAL) 1 (15 ounce) can evaporated milk 4 cups whole milk 1?4 cup butter 6 teaspoons sugar 1?2 teaspoon cream of tartar

DIRECTIONS

Stir together sugar, cornstarch, salt and cocoa in a heavy 3 quart boiler. Beat egg yolks with milk and stir into dry ingredients. Add butter that has been cut into small cubes and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and just begins to "bubble". You must stir constantly or this filling will scorch. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and pour into baked pie shells and let cool some. Make a meringue from the 6 egg whites, cream of tarter and sugar. Spread on top of pies and brown in the oven at 325F. Remove pies from oven when meringue is nicely brown. Let cool at least 30 minutes before you attempt to cut these pies. Let the kids or dear hubby have the pot and stirring spoon to lick clean.
