It sounds like your grandma was a fantastic baker as well. I would like to tell you THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart because growing up both of my parents had to work long hours to [put food on the table which meant I learned to cook at a very young age my grandma showed me everything I know I love to bake but, before she died I din't have a chance to get her pie recipes. This is like my mom’s chocolate pie. I made this tonight and was very impressed. she could make two pies in about 20 min, sounds like your grandmother is the same way.

Daziano–I’m not familiar with chocolate crostata–I’ll have to research that. Being from the south, I know what you mean aboiut there being different types of pie eaters. I am a Texan living in the Seattle area for awhile. Looks delicious and I think I’ll give it a try tomorrow when I pick my granddaughter up from nursery. Every time you talk about your grandma, she just sounds awesomer and awesomer! I'm a Texas ex-pat living in upstate New York..just made this for my book club as we are reading "the help"… boy it was easy, but I can't imagine whipping the merengue without a mixer.. like back in the ole days…it should be yummy!
