Submitted by HBHW reader Jalynn

• 1 baked pie crust
  

• 3/4 cup sugar
  
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
  
• 2 cups milk
  
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  
• 6 Tablespoons of flour
  
• 6-7 Tablespoons powdered cocoa
  
• 3 egg yolks ( save the whites for the topping)
  

Mix all ingredients (except pie crust) together in a medium saucepan & heat over medium heat until thick ..stirring constantly.

Pour thickened mixture into baked pie shell & cool completely.

Beat the egg whites with a little cream of tartar & a little sugar until mixture makes a stiff peak. Spread generously over the top of the cooled pie making peaks with the mixture. Turn on the broiler & brown the pie top...watch it so it won't burn...
