        1 Make the Chocolate Filling<\/h3>\n
          \n
        1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
        2. Add the sugar and stir until slightly dissolved.<\/li>\n
        3. Whisk in the flour and cocoa powder until smooth and lump-free.<\/li>\n
        4. Gradually add the milk while whisking constantly.<\/li>\n
        5. Continue cooking, stirring nonstop, until the mixture thickens into a smooth chocolate custard (about 8\u201310 minutes).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Temper the Egg Yolks<\/h4>\n
            \n
          1. In a bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks.<\/li>\n
          2. Slowly add a few spoonfuls of the hot chocolate mixture into the yolks, whisking continuously.<\/li>\n
          3. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan.<\/li>\n
          4. Cook for 2\u20133 more minutes, stirring constantly.<\/li>\n
          5. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            2 Assemble the Pie<\/h3>\n
              \n
            • Immediately pour the hot chocolate filling into the baked pie crust.<\/li>\n
            • Smooth the top with a spatula.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                4 Top the Pie<\/h3>\n
                  \n
                • Spread the meringue over the warm chocolate filling.<\/li>\n
                • Make sure the meringue touches the crust edges to seal it.<\/li>\n
                • Use a spoon to create decorative peaks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  5 Bake the Meringue<\/h3>\n

                      \n
                    • Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature.<\/li>\n
                    • Chill for at least 1 hour<\/strong> before slicing.<\/li>\n

                      Tips for Best Results<\/h2>\n
                        \n

                      • Stir the chocolate filling constantly to avoid burning.<\/li>\n
