The movie The Help is by far, one of my top 10 most favorite movies of all time. So when #SundaySupper decided it was time to take our recipes to the movies, The Help was an easy choice for me.

If you’ve spent anytime around my blog, you’d know already that I have a certain affection with southern food, and you can’t get much more southern than a good old traditional chocolate pie. And I have wanted to make one since I saw the movie, minus Minny’s “special ingredient”.

Awhile back, I had clipped a Chocolate Pie recipe out of our local paper in hopes I’d get around to making it, so I did.

And it was delicious. In fact, it was AWESOME.

However I wanted something closer to the movie version – a little thicker, a little firmer. So I went on a hunt and googled the pie from the movie and came across the original recipe by Lee Ann Fleming from the movie The Help. How cool is that? You can get Minny’s Original Chocolate Pie recipe here.

On the other hand, today I am sharing with you the first one I made, because we really adored it.

Minny’s Chocolate Pie

Print

Ingredients

• 1 frozen unbaked pie crust
• 1/4 cup flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup butter
• 2 oz of unsweetened baking chocolate squares
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350. Remove the pie crust from the freezer and allow to thaw for about 20 minutes before using.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the flour, eggs and sugar until mixed well.
3. Using a double boiler, melt the butter and chocolate, stirring frequently until completely mixed.
4. Add the melted chocolate mixture to the flour/sugar mixture and mix everything together well.
5. Mix in the vanilla.
6. Pour the chocolate "batter" into the pie shell and bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
