Like others have noted, there is something off about the cocoa to sugar ratio in this recipe. It makes it overly rich and taste like straight cocoa. The meringue turned out good. And no I didn't just not make it right, I'm not an idiot and I've been baking since I was 12 so I know how to make a pie. I wouldnt recommend this recipe.

Mine came out successfully (I used a pre-made crust because I can't make a pie crust to save my life). I just did not like the taste of the chocolate filling. It set perfectly and the meringue was perfect, but the filling just did not have good flavor. What I need is Marie Callender's recipe. That is the perfect chocolate meringue pie.

I was born in Newfoundland, Canada. I grew up watching my grandmother bake bread and knit.
<br>I now live in a friendly little town on the coast of North Carolina. I love to bake, especially bread and desserts. I also love to knit, especially socks, just like my grandmother. I am the co-owner of a yarn shop in our little town. When I'm not working in the shop I am usually at home in the kitchen!
