New: 52-Week 1--Aunt Jeunie's Chocolate and Custard Pie

This is a recipe from my Great Aunt and I decided to try it out for my sister's birthday since she doesn't like cake.

1 deep dish pie crust unbaked

3 eggs

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 cups scalded milk

1 cup chocolate chips

2 Tbsp. milk

Prepare crust.  Lightly beat together eggs, sugar, salt, and nutmeg.  Scald  2 cups milk (heat just until the boiling point).  Stir milk into egg mixture.  Bake at 425 degrees for 25-30 minutes until center sets and knife comes out without liquid on it.  Cool.  Melt chocolate and add 2 Tbsp milk.  Spread over custard pie.


This is my first recipe for New: 52.  Exploring new things while cooking was one of my 11 for '11 goals this year and New:52 is a challenge to do something new every week and tell about it.  I decided to combine the 2 together!
