Ingredients

• 1 , 9 inch
• 0.25 cups butter
• 1.25 cups white sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs yolks
• 1 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 eggs whites

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. 2 Melt butter in a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat.
3. 3 Combine 1 cup sugar with cocoa and flour. Beat egg yolks with milk and add to the sugar mixture.
4. 4 Add sugar and egg mixture to the skillet with melted butter and cook gently, stirring constantly until thick. (Watch this mixture closely as it has a tendency to burn.) Add vanilla. Pour the mixture into the baked crust.
5. 5 Beat egg whites until soft peaks form; add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until meringue is glossy and stiff peaks form. Spread beaten egg whites over the hot filling. Be sure whites touch the edges of the crust.
6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until the meringue is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
