Fair warning: this Old Fashioned Chocolate Meringue Pie<\/strong> is very sweet, very chocolatey, and oh-so rich. It\u2019s a silky chocolate custard of cocoa, cornstarch, and whole milk in a baked shell. That layer is then crowned with fluffy homemade meringue and baked just until it has beautiful golden peaks. This was my Aunt Marjorie\u2019s recipe, and it\u2019s loved by everyone in our family!<\/p>\n

Any time you\u2019re heading to a potluck, having a birthday bash, or just want a beautiful dessert to serve family and friends, this pie is a lovely choice. A homemade pie always gives me warm feelings of home, reminding me of childhood family gatherings and holiday dinners. <\/p>\n

\"A<\/div>\n

With so many different fillings and toppings, there\u2019s a pie for even the most choosy eaters. And while I\u2019d never pass up a classic lemon meringue pie<\/a>, an apple slab pie<\/a>, or a sour cream peach pie<\/a>, this chocolate meringue is undoubtedly one of my favorites. It\u2019s pure Southern comfort food<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fair warning \u2013 this pie is really, really rich. You\u2019ll only need a small slice (yeah, right). It easily serves eight but could most definitely stretch to 10.<\/p>\n
