As promised, here are the microwaved pie recipes!
Chocolate Pie
Prick and pre-bake an 8 inch pie crust. Or you may use graham cracker or chocolate cookie crumb crust. If you wish to use a 9 inch crust, just increase ingredients by 1/2 again (eg: 1 1/2 C sugar, 4 1/2 T cocoa, etc.)
In a glass microwave-proof bowl, combine well, whisking to break up any lumps:
1 C sugar
1/3 C regular flour
3 T cocoa
Add:
3 egg yolks
2 C milk
1/2 tsp salt
Mix well and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Stir (whisk) well, til the mixture comes together smoothly. Microwave for another 5 minutes. Add 1/2 stick butter and 1 tsp. vanilla, again whisking well.
Pour into pie crust and let cool while making meringue:
3 egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp vanilla
6 T sugar
Beat whites til soft peaks form, then add cream of tartar, vanilla, and sugar a little at a time. Beat til stiff peaks form. Top pie with meringue and bake 12-15 min at 350.
Coconut Pie
Just like chocolate one, except leave out cocoa and add 1 large handful coconut (about 1 C) after custard is cooked in microwave.
You may also use the custard for Banana Cream Pie by leaving out the coconut and adding 1-2 chopped bananas.
Enjoy!
