This Chocolate Pie Is My Absolute Favorite
This Chocolate Pie is one of my all-time favorites — the kind of dessert I’ve loved for years and still make whenever I want something truly special.
It’s rich, chocolatey, and topped with a fluffy homemade meringue, but I also share a few modern tips that make this old-fashioned recipe easier than you might expect. One of my favorites? Using the microwave to make the pie filling instead of standing over the stove.
In this video, I’ll show you:

If you’ve ever felt intimidated by chocolate pie or meringue, this recipe will walk you through it step by step. It’s a classic dessert made a little more approachable — and one I truly love.

I agree about the microwave. I do this for my chocolate and coconut meringue pies. Also, I have done it for the pudding for my banana puddings. Sounds so good I may get up and make a pie. 🙂
I am a fairly decent baker, but I always feel a little intimidated by meringue. I loved the fact that you dealt with whipping up the egg whites first. I didn't realize they would be ok sitting a little while. That is a game changer for me. Using the microwave for the filling is, too. I am going to try this recipe for sure.
I usually add a tiny pinch of salt and a half teaspoon of vanilla.
Looks delicious. Love that you can put the chocolate in the microwave. Genius 😮
so you can put the meringue on the hot filling?
❤ chocolate meringue pie! Mmmgood! Thank you MaryKatherine!
Your pie looks fabulous will make it for my twin sister but I will steal one slice for myself 😅!!!!!!! Can't wait to hear about your cookbook one day GOOD LORD WILLING 😊
Microwaving the filling is a game changer! It is so much easier. I enjoy your videos, you're a great teacher.
Do you have a favorite recipe for a single pic crust like the double recipe in your Pie Crust video. Best I have ever eaten.
Gorgeous chocolate pie!!!!😊
OH, MY WORD!! I am making this so soon, it looks amazing! I do have a recipe book like yours, but not the chocolate pie, thank you Mary Katherine! (Hopefully one day I will have your cookbook)! How long will the meringue stay stiff on the counter? Is it best to put it in the fridge? I am asking because I take care of my Mom and sometimes, I have to step away for a bit…❤
How do you keep the meringue from not separating from the pie? 😢
Homemade chocolate meringue pie is one of my favorites. This looks so delicious! I’ve never cooked the filling in the microwave. I’ll have to try that.
I love chocolate pie. I'll be trying this recipe soon. Thanks for sharing.
I love microwaving my pudding…I watched Tammy Nichols from Collard Valley Cooks make it this way
My stepdad LOVED my mom’s chocolate pie, & she made it just like you!
Thank you and your pie looks great.
Oh My!!!! This looks delicious and your reaction is priceless. I will definitely give this a try since my husband LOVES chocolate pie! Thank you!!
❤
Almost identical to my mom’s recipe that she has been making for over 70 years and her mom’s recipe before that. Not sure if my great grandmother made it or not. I don’t use quite as much flour and add in 1/3 cup of semisweet chocolate chips. The chocolate chips are my twist on it.
Your husband got you on the video!!🤣🤣. He knows you love this pie!! Mmm x 4! It was too funny!! That’s me when I eat chocolate pie with whipped cream topping instead of meringue! Sometimes I put it in ready made graham cracker crust for my granddaughter (her favorite)! Love your channel so much!
Yum!!! I am going to make this pie.
Melt 100% dark chocolate instead of the cocoa. Yum
Hi and yummmmyyy!
Were you a Home Ec teacher, if not you should have been ! Your teaching is superb and so well explained for every step! Trying this and the microwave method is genius! Thanks ❤ohhh and I made your Mac and Cheese! Chefs Kiss and no Velveeta 😂😮yay
I just made your chocolate pie and it is cooling. I loved the ease of making it even though my crust isn’t any where as noce as yours. I can’t wait to taste it! I wanted to add the photo but wasn’t sure how to.
I shall try this recipe. From Ecuador.
