Had it this evening and it was SO incredibly silky and smooth -- I'll never grab the Jello box again smileys/smile.gif Oh, and I'm going to post the recipe here because the original didn't have the ingredients in the right order, nor did she mention all the ingredients in the instructions.... here ya go!
Chocolate Pudding or Pie Filling
From: Lanette Currington "Now We're Cooking! 43 Authors in the Kitchen"
Ingredients
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
1 egg for pudding, OR 2 egg yolks for pie filling (reserve whites for meringue)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tbsp. butter or margarine
Baked pie shell for pie filling
Meringue for pie:
2 egg whites
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Instructions
Mix sugar and cocoa together well. Add flour and mix. Add milk (add 1/4 cup milk and the egg and whisk together until you have a nice chocolate paste, then gradually stir in rest of milk) and mix again. Use mixer to beat until mixture is smooth (note: I didn't do this - I used a whisk). Cook over medium heat until mixture thickens. Add vanilla and butter; stir well (pour into six 6-oz. ramekins). For pudding, serve warm.
For pie, pour into baked pie shell (cool, then top with meringue).
Meringue: Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Add sugar and vanilla and beat until stiff peaks form. Spread over pie filling. Broil in oven for a few minutes until meringue is lightly browned.
