I gave this recipe to a church friend of mine who wanted to bake a chocolate pie for the people building our new platform at church this week. When she did make it and brought it over to them, it was a hit!!!!! They were wanting more. Thank you sister for this recipe. It is amazing!
I have to admit I got a little teary-eyed watching this. Between Halloween and Christmas, my grandmother would normally make coconut pie, chocolate pie, German chocolate cake, sweet potato pie, pecan pie, and a cherry pie. The kitchen always smelled amazing.
I made this pie last night!!! This is exactly what I was looking for!!! Taste like the pie I remember as a child. Thank you so so so much for sharing this!!!!
Oh we are so glad. This makes Granny so happy. She really does make the best. She also makes a great coconut pie. Oh also a wonderful lemon that we plan to record for ya once she is better. Thanks for your feedback. Blessings. ❤️
@@am2662 thank you. She is sitting here beside me and said ‘Oh you need to tell her that the coconut is already on there. And also the crust. Oh and also the meringue “ 😍
My grandmother use to make homemade chocolate pies. Every Thanksgiving and Christmas we’d get to eat her delicious chocolate pies. I’ve never eat any since hers.
Zoni Yen we all love Granny’s pies. She has cancer so won’t be making them this holiday. So glad we have her recipes. They are truly the best. Thanks for stopping by. Blessings ❤️
I am going to try your method of warming part of the milk first. I mixed my ingredients altogether, egg milk and all, and it was doing good on medium-low heat, I decided to turn it up to medium and got scrambled eggs in my pudding. I'm hoping your trick of warming part of the milk prior helps to avoid this disaster, thank you :)
You could also sift all the dry, even the coco. I'm sure you know all this. Lol I just wanted to tell d you. I'm going to make your recipe. It looks great. I'm going to make it for my husband. Thank for sharing
I'm so excited!!!! I found this recipe and decided to make this pie!!!! The pudding is Delicious!😋 Can't wait to cut myself a slice of Goodness!!! Thank you ladies!!!
This is my favorite too, my Nana passed and my mother lost her recipe book so I haven't had this in decades. I can't wait to make this for Thanksgiving! Thank you so very much for sharing.
Thank you so much for this recipe. My husband requested a homemade chocolate pie for Thanksgiving like his mom used to make. Since she can't tell me how to make, I needed some help, so thank you again. God bless you and Happy Thanksgiving ❤
They giving it is Happy Thanksgiving for you guys Happy Thanksgiving prayer you guys you need to show me how to make chocolate cake from my mom I need to make it for my mom for my mom I text you you guys have to take care of him for you guys Happy Thanksgiving keep the kid hit the kids posit it adjusted for me guys I love you
@@BootsAndBonnetWithChrisChristy this is same recipe I grew up with also. But my nanny baked hers in oven on 350° for 20 minutes. Til it wasn't wet on the toothpick. How does yours set without cooking. Plus we put meringue and it has to cook 20.minutes. but for my boys, I make one without meringue and it cooks for 20mins. Then I top when completely cooled with whipped topping. I've also backed it in graham cracker crust, put same pudding in pie. Bake it 20 minutes. Take out over. Add tiny marshmallows and bake under broiler for 10 minutes til marshmallows toast til lightly golden. My boys call is a s'mores pie. Its divine. But it's all the exact same chocolate pie filling.
Very nice video ma'am :) I'm from New Jersey so your southern accent makes it so much sweeter (no pun intended).... I always wanted to try chocolate pie and now I can make it .n Keep up the good work!
I have been looking for a really good chocolate pie recipe and this one looks yummy! It does make sense to heat your milk separately and add your eggs to the chocolate mixture to keep from scrambling your eggs. I’m trying this one! Thank you!
@@BootsAndBonnetWithChrisChristy I'm not sure where i went wrong then : /. I refrigerated it for nearly 8 hours but it still completely was just very wet runny pudding. Is that supposed to be the consistency of it? I just assumed it would be more solid and hold form? It still tasted delicious though which i guess is what counts lol
@@candyleigh015 I’m glad it tasted good but no it is not supposed to be runny. You may not have cooked it long enough on the stove. That is what sounds like happened. Don’t give up. Practice makes perfect. You can do it 😊❤️
@@candyleigh015 next time bake on 350° for 20 minutes. The reason it was runny was you didn't cook pudding thick enough. I always bake mine 20 minutes to make sure it sets nicely. I like to cut my pie and it set pretty on plate. With meringue you must cook it anyhow, for 20 minutes.
Are we supposed to bake the pie after? Refrigerate? I gotta tell ya I accidentally put in baking powder instead of cornstarch in the filling and omg it kept rising and rising so I transferred to a spaghetti pan and it was still rising then I realized oops wrong ingredient! Lol This is the recipe my grandma use to use thank you so much for posting this video! It tastes just like hers!
I just made your recipe a lot bit ago and I stuck it in the fridge. Your recipe didn't specify whether or not you bake or put them in the fridge. So what I'm trying to ask is this a pie you bake or refrigerate?
If this recipe works in the way Grannys chocolate pie did this pie i am gonna jump for joy because that "tempering part" in most homemade chocolate recipe scares the heck outta me an i will not even attempt those recipes.. With my luck that way would be a flop! LOL. I'm trying this recipe an i pray this will be the one!. I love chocolate pie an have tried them from diffefent places an no i have yet to find my dads hands.( my dad was a baker an learned everything he knew in Leon Guanajuato mexico. Ps he Used their vanilla which yes is the real mc coy. As a kid i sold coconut pies pecan pies an name it my dad made them an i sold them @.40 cents each. Anyway i think i would know a good pie an this recipe sounds almost too good to be true but u sound so confident am trying it. Thank you!!
@@BootsAndBonnetWithChrisChristy I'm sure or almost sure that u have the answer I been looking for that as I said before( does not require tempering.) Thank u for replying keep adding more great ideas an I will keep following too. Again thank u for replying.
Sorry it might be for obvious for other but not for me. After the poor the chocolate mixture I'm the baked pie crust what did you do? Did you put it in the oven to bake? Or do you put it in the fridge because it doesn't need to bake but just to firm up? And if you don't bake it you only put it in the oven for the meringue to cook? Help...
I'm so sorry to ask another but should I bake the pie because I know you said it's done once it's thickened but in the meringue video you baked it. Sorry this might be a dumb question I'm just wondering.
If you make meringue then yes it will need to be baked. The pie pie is done but the meringue will need to be baked. Some just use cool whip but we like meringue. Merry Christmas ❤️
I made this pie today followed the recipe to the letter. the filling was delicious it was nice and thick when I put it in the shell. set it aside and made the meringue topping. baked it and it looked beautiful. put in the fridge to cool and when I cut into it this evening( I made it this morning) it was like soup. . what did I do wrong?
My grandmother only made hers with flour. Works beautifully and actually has a better taste to me. I use cornstarch now, because its easier, because flour really needs sifting.
Howdy from Texas. Of course you can use a store bought crust and yes you bake the crust before you pour the filling in. We also have a crust and meringue recipe on this channel. Good luck ❤️
For my young sons, I make this pie in a Graham cracker crust, then top with tiny marshmallows and bake to lightly toast n melt marshmallows. They call it a s'mores pie. Its divine.
@@BootsAndBonnetWithChrisChristy Thanks for the reply and for posting this unique, easier, faster, cheaper (no expensive equipment) way of making chocolate pie.
The filling was super delicious but after three hours it still hadn't set. It was a thick, puddingy consistency when I poured it into the crust. Any idea what I did wrong?
I'm sorry I couldn't hear very well but exactly how much milk am I supposed to use I seen you used some at normal temperature too but also had some warming up could you please help?
@@BootsAndBonnetWithChrisChristy made it again and holy smokes what a pie..didn't last a day.ive been making every pie I watch and all a great success. can u do a holiday muffin vid?or cookies.
I also have started cooking in microwave. Only takes 6 minutes. Watched clover valley cooks do it. Works amazing especially when you're making 6 pies for the church bake sale.😜
What if you choose not to have meringue? I know you separated the egg whites from the yolk (for the meringue) but if you chose not to make meringue, could you still include the whole egg in your recipe? You beat 4 eggs but if I make this, I want to make sure. I'm not much of a cook but I can follow instructions to a tee.
@@BootsAndBonnetWithChrisChristy You would still need to separate if you were making meringue but if I were to _skip_ this step (because I just want the pie without meringue), could I apply the 4 eggs (with the yolk) to my pie filling? You did not put the whites in your filling but I was wondering if you did, would my filling be any different?
