Johnny Rays Chocolate Pie Recipes

SWEET CHOCOLATE PIE

Steps:

• Bake your pie shell and let it cool before adding the filling. In a large bowl whisk together the sugar, cocoa, flour, milk, vanilla and eggs. Cut butter into about three pieces and add to pie liquid. (The butter will melt while cooking). Cook on top of the stove on medium high heat, stirring constantly about 9 to 10 minutes until filling thickens
• Don't forget to stir because it will burn easily. If I think it is going to burn I move it from the burner for a minute or put it on the edge of the burner. Once the filling thickens, pour into cooled pie shell and let cool about 10 to 12 minutes before adding meringue.

CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Place the chopped chocolate, butter, and vanilla extract in a 2-quart mixing bowl; set aside.
• In a medium saucepan away from heat, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, and salt. Whisk in 1/4 cup of cold heavy cream until the mixture is smooth, with no lumps. Repeat with another 1/4 cup of the cream. Whisk in the egg yolks.
• Place the saucepan over medium heat, and gradually whisk in the remaining cream and milk. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly as the mixture thickens. Once the mixture starts to thicken, boil for 1 more minute.
• Remove the pan from the heat and pour the mixture over the reserved chocolate and butter. Whisk until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
• Place plastic wrap or buttered parchment paper on the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and chill thoroughly.
