Chocolate Raspberry meringue pie!

So after my lemon meringue was made..usually while making desserts it curbs all my cravings of anything sugary sweet or whatever i'm making. I'm not sure why but its always been that way for bakers and cooks.

So i thought perhaps the next day i could have a slice in the morning! but to my dismay the next day the meringue was completely finished!!

Hence the decision to make another pie..actually this pie was also an accident..i was making cupcakes with my friend and i forgot she wanted buttercream instead of chocolate ganache so there you go! the filling of the pie (i added alittle custard in)


Anyway in the end i preferred the taste of chocolate raspberry then lemon cos i felt lemon was too sweet for my liking

FILLING:
2 c. milk
4 eggs, separated
1/2 c. flour
3/4 tsp. salt
2 c. white sugar
4 tbsp. butter
3 blocks unsweetened chocolate
1 tsp. vanilla
 
Scald the milk in a small pan. Beat egg yolks in small bowl. Mix flour, salt and sugar in double boiler. Add egg yolks and stir. Add scalded milk, stirring well. Add butter and chocolate; cook until thick, stirring often. When mixture is thick, add vanilla. Pour into baked pie shell.
