I'll add my 5 stars, although I think I added a little too much sugar and maybe a tad too much cocoa! My husband loves it and wants me to make it again, ( he hasn't finished this one, yet). But an excellent recipe! I liked the way the eggs are whisked in 'before' it's put on the heat. Makes for a smoother consistency than adding the egg yolks at the end. Will do this with all my cream pies from now on. Thanks PCrocker!

    This is heavenly! My husband said this was the best pie he'd had in a long time! I made this on a rainy day and the meringue still held up and worked perfectly. We all loved it. I will definitely be making this alot. Oh...I did use the special dark cocoa from Hershey's instead of the reg. which gives it a more intense chocolate flavor. Thanks so much!

    This is my first time making chocolate meringue pie. It was excellent. I don't need to look any further for the best chocolate pie recipe. This is it!
