Hi Sandy,
Here is a link for pie questions and answers. Soggy crust is one of them. http://www.landolakes.com/TestKitchen/TipsAndTechniques/FAQ/pies.aspx#c1f6d057-9bd1-4983-80b2-ba40a64b3496

Tina,
We LOVE chocolate pie! but my bunch loves it with a graham cracker crust. I have a problem with the crust getting soggy though. Is there anything I can do to avoid this? Chocolate is my VERY FAVORITE PIE!! YUM!

Ok thanks. I made it with a heaping Tbsp but didn't think it was very "chocolatey" Maybe I will try a little more next time.

It is one heaping tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. This is an old fashioned recipe from my friends grandmother.

a heaping tablespoon is, if you put your spoon in the jar and just take a big scoop out,without knocking it on the side and leveling it! A heaping tablespoon is problably 2 tablespoons. I will add a note to the recipe.

I have tried so many of your recipes and none have failed me yet...until now =(
The recipe calls for 1 TBSP cocoa but when it was cooked it just had a slight chocolate taste.

Thanks for an awesome recipe. And a very big thanks for the tip about the meringue powder. I found some in a small shop that specialize in importing stuff from overseas. The meringue powder is now my best friend in baking. Heh.

Hi hopefully I am not to late on replying to your ? I dont do anything different on the meringue with the meringue powder. I just followed the directions that came with the powder. The only thing I did different was I double the recipe so i have enough meringue. Good luck and it really is so much better than with the egg whites it doesnt get the runny part around the edges.

I have a question about the meringue powder. I hav...

2010-03-12T00:28:55.168-06:00

I have a question about the meringue powder. I have heard on the Wilton forums that making meringue with meringue powder can be a little tricky--that it clumps and you have to throw it out and start over.

Your meringue looks so good that I find the stories hard to believe. Do you have any little tricks that you can share with me that helps you achieve such a nice meringue?

I am going to make your Chocolate Meringue Pie recipe tomorrow for my book club's 4th anniversary. The book I selected for this occasion is "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. If you haven't read the book, Chocolate Pie is a huge part of the story.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I have always made meringue for lemon pies with real egg whites. It seems to get to a point where it isn't possible to achieve height without egg separation. Last year the meringue had about 12egg whites and I had to drain the pie off before traveling with it! If I use the meringue powder there will be no separation no matter how big we want it?

I loved this recipe! Perfect! Thanks for sharing...

i am not quite sure how I stumbled on to your site,but I am sure glad I did. That chocolate pie recipe you have posted is exactly what I have been looking for many years now.
Years ago, when our children were little we would have lunch at the local country club with my husbands grandparents and my all time fave dessert was chocolate pie. I haven't been able to find a recipe to duplicate it till now. Thank you so much for sharing an old fashioned fave that brings back such wonderful memories.
