Classic Betty Crocker Chocolate Cream Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Heat milk, marshmallows and chocolate in 3-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate and marshmallows are melted and blended. Refrigerate about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon.

Steps:

• Whisk dry ingredients with milk in a large glass heat-proof bowl and cook on high in the microwave.
• Whisk every 3 or 4 minutes.
• Separate eggs and beat egg yolks in a medium bowl while the liquid cooks.
• When the liquid begins to thicken, wisk ladle-fulls of the hot liquid into the beaten egg yolks.
• Strain the egg mixture back into the microwave bowl, whisking again to keep it smooth.
• Continue to microwave until the filling begins to look sort of "cakey" around the edges.
• Whisk to return it to the creamy texture.
• After cooking it this way once, you will become accustomed to consistency and appearance at certain stages.
• When the pie filling is quite thick, remove it from the microwave and add butter and vanilla.
• Pour into the baked pie crust and cover with meringue.
• Prepare meringue while the filling cools: Beat egg whites until "peak" stage.
• Add sugar gradually, beating constantly.
• Add vanilla.
• Spread meringue on pie and bake in a 400° oven 8 to 10 minutes until the meringue has toasty peaks.
