I had been looking for a relatively simple chocolate pie to make yesterday for Thanksgiving as I'd already made a fruit pie and had a left over pie crust. Most of the recipes I looked at were either more complex and time-consuming than I had time for and/or called for ingredients I didn't have on hand. And then I saw this one. I was a little leery since no one had reviewed it yet but I decided to give it a go. I didn't have Nestle Nesquik but I did have Hershey's Cocoa Powder so I substituted that. And my pie-pan with its crust was not deep-dish and was just a regular 8 inch pie crust of normal depth. Otherwise, I followed the instructions as indicated. And it turned out very nice. And even better for the next day (yes, I had a slice for breakfast today) after it had the chance to spend a night in the fridge.<br/><br/>I will say this, looks like times need some adjustment as it did take approximately an hour or so for this recipe beginning to finish. I would say the 20 minutes is about right for prep including stove-top time on the chocolate. But it took at least 30 minutes to get the mixture to the bubbling point in the oven as per instructions. I would imagine it might take even longer had I been using a deep dish pie shell. Then maybe another 10 minutes or so for the meringue part including the additional oven time for browning. I'd say it took an hour all told.<br/><br/>But this was still, even considering it took an hour, a fast and easy pie. It tasted lovely. It tastes FANTASTIC when really cold so I'd recommend chilling it overnight before serving (but room temperature wasn't bad either).<br/><br/>Thank you for sharing this one. I will be keeping it as a personal favorite for future years.
