On May 18, 2017, as I reflected on my battle with cancer, I realized I hadn’t taught my daughters how to cook. Concerned that if the cancer returned, I wouldn’t leave them with essential kitchen skills, I decided to record my favorite recipes on video.
I jumped out of my recliner, filmed my first tutorial that day, and posted it on Facebook the next day. The overwhelming response led me to create a Facebook page, a website, and a UA-cam channel. Encouraged by my viewers, my husband and I compiled a cookbook, which I hope brings joy to both new and experienced cooks. Thank you for supporting Collard Valley Cooks!
Many people wonder if Collard Valley is real; it is located in northwest Georgia, where the hills rise toward the Appalachian Mountains. The name originates from Chief Collard, a Cherokee leader forced into exile during the Trail of Tears in the 1830s. Nearby Cedartown was established as a mill town in the early 1900s.
This rural area has maintained its agricultural roots. Tammy’s grandparents, Albert and Lucille Benefield, embodied this lifestyle, focusing on cooking with simple ingredients. We hope you enjoy this simple rural cooking style, reflecting traditions passed down through family and community, similar to other “Collard Valleys” nationwide.

Happy Cooking!
TAMMY!!!!! I have to tell you I just made this pie for my husband. HOMERUN!!! His mom just passed, she was 93 and he said it tasted just like hers! To bring comfort like that to my honey makes my heart rejoice. Thank you Darling!
Where did you find that mixer want to try making the pie than
@@claradillard2106 thats a bosche mixer. You can find it on amazon
Ymmv
Awe! So sweet! I know that does bring you a tremendous amount of joy! Making yummy food for the ones that I love brings me an immense amount of joy! ❤

I was born and raised in NorthEast Texas, my Great Grandmother used to make these pies when I was a kid. Makes me think home and floods me with cherished memories.
Looks just like my mother's. She died at 92 and the whole family has really missed her chocolate pie! Now, I think I can do it! Thank you!!!
I think the preacher must have whispered a quiet Hallelujah when he tasted that pie. Looks so delicious.
I just happened by your videos watching UA-cam. I just watched you make your grandmother's chocolate pie. It is the exact chocolate pie that my grandmother always made for me. I have not had it since she had passed away decades ago. Now I have the recipe and I cannot thank you enough. I have looked high and low for a chocolate meringue pie and have never found one. Thanks again you have a new fan for life.❤
Tomorrow for sure with my homemade vanilla. Maybe no one will like it but me!! LOL!
I canned a dozen quarts of your spaghetti sauce. 5 times the recipe. No meat. Will brown and add the kind I need when I make the dish for dinner. It's our favorite recipe, hands down!
I love your vanilla!
@@CollardValleyCooks Thanks. I am a member if a vanilla bean co-op. I think its the best! Let me know if you need more or some beans.
OMG...I could listen to you talk all day long! Love your southern accent and will for sure try this recipe. Bless your heart!!
Gee, never thought about my (our) Southern Accent, but thanks. We are slow talking, and love to feed you our favorite foods. When I found Tammy, I stopped looking. I live in NW Alabama and she lived in Central Georgia at that time. To me, Tammy wrote the Bible on Southern Cooking.
As a child, one of my first words was "pie", and that meant Ollie Belle's chocolate meringue pie. She'd come to do work for my elderly grandmother in Tazewell VA back in the 1960's, and occasionally she'd make a pie in addition to doing housework. I've never had a pie to equal Ollie Belle's, and I've never succeeded at making any chocolate pie that begins to approach it, but I hope to try your granny's recipe someday and I'll keep my fingers crossed!!! It certainly LOOKS as good as Ollie Belle's! Thank you so much! 😺💕🐾
That's exactly the recipe my mama made chocolate pie ever since I was little. And I'm 70 now. Everyone always begged her to make chocolate pie. I lost the recipe and now I have it thanks to you, praise God. Thank you.
And mama used nothing but Watkins too. And I still do.
My grandma used to make chocolate pie just like this. She is 84 and she can’t remember things anymore. I’m thankful to now share this with my babies. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! 💕
M😮😮😮
TAMMY I ALMOST CRIED AT THE END WHEN YOU SAID LIKE GRANNY B DID. MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER, WAS CALLED GRANNY BEASLEY AND US KIDS WOULD CALL HER GRANNY B. SO SWEET THE MEMORIES.
I made this pie last night for our anniversary (41) dessert. It almost brought tears to my eyes - it was just like Mama Teale's chocolate pie! Thank you so much for a well-timed recipe!
Wonderful!
Thank you for making it and posting the results . With this pie ? You must have had a great anniversary . 🤠🖖
@@cowboykelly6590 As we don't have children, it was quiet. I shared this recipe with 3 people already. They were excited to try.
Thank you! I've tried other "old fashioned" chocolate meringue pie trying to make it like my husband's grandma and none came out right. He loves this recipe! The most delicious 😋
Awesome!
This reminded me of my Grandma. I used to stand at the stove as a child and watch her make this pie. And of course, as you said, she used regular spoons to measure, not actual measuring spoons. She always eye-balled measurements. Thank you so much for this video, it gave me such happy memories! Now if I could only find her fried chicken recipe. LOL I have never tasted anything like hers, and I have scoured the internet for it, no luck. It is the recipe my family mourns because nobody knows how to duplicate it, not even my mother who is an amazing cook and had most of her recipes.
TAMMY!!! I made this pie and it came out fantastic!! It tastes just like my grandma Hogan's. I used a tablespoon from my flatware set just like you did and I also used 5 eggs and 5 egg whites. It was a vision of culinary beauty!! I cannot say thank you enough. You are amazing.
Great job!
Another tip. If you put some butter on either side of whatever you slice the meringue with, the butter will keep the meringue from sticking to the cutting instrument. Prettier slice of pie that way with no ragged edges to the meringue.
Hello 👋 There
How are you doing today?
Wow, that pie looks delectable! My granny made amazing chocolate pie, too. It's a family favorite.
I watched six recipes on here and yours by far is the best recipe I ever seen and tried. Thank you so so much. Who would’ve thought that you can microwave a chocolate pie filling. ❤
I just made this pie and I can't wait to eat some. It reminds me of my Aunt Louise's Mile High Chocolate Pie. She made this pie every Christmas when I was a kid in the 70's. Her meringue was piled high hence the name. I dug up her old recipe and she used 4 egg whites and a cup of Marshmallow Creme to get the meringue so high. It still works! Thanks!
Hope you enjoy!
Oh my gosh!!! I just made this pie. This is the BEST chocolate pie I've ever had!!! Thank you for sharing 💕
Glad you liked it!!
I cannot believe that you also remove the white attached to the egg yolk before cooking!! My Mom and Nana taught me to always do this, too. But, you are the only cook on media that I see that still does this traditional preparation of ours! 🐣
👏🏼💗🥰This one made me cry, remembering this among other amazing dishes at our cousins' annual church homecoming. That was some of the best of my childhood, & still today I've never found food to match it, but I believe this pie recipe hit the mark, thank you, I'm gonna try it!!!
That’s the prettiest chocolate pie I’ve ever seen! Gonna make this one for sure.
This pie looks so good!!!
Thank you for this old school recipe!!!🌷🤗🌻
Fantastic!!!!! I just finished making this pie. I like mine with Cool Whip, so I didn’t do the meringue. I love chocolate pie and this was the easiest recipe I ever used. Thanks so much for sharing!!!!!
Wow! This tastes just like my grandmother's! Regrettably I didn't get her recipe before she passed but this tastes like the real deal! It's going to be my go to holiday pie now
This video brought back a flood of memories of my granny's chocolate meringue pie. I now have to make one of my own.😊
So glad to find you and can't wait to make your granny's pie! Looked beautiful!!
Looks like my nannies pie🥹. i’m gonna make it for my kids and grandkids so they have the same memories that I have of my mom, grandma and nanny. ❤️
That looks delicious and I know it is! I love chocolate pie and it was my mother in law’s favorite. She is the one who taught me. And she did it just like you. Thank you so much for sharing.
I miss my Grandma so much ❤
Great recipe. Very traditional taste. It is a big winner with my family, whose "granny" has passed. I have been able to keep the tradition going and they ask for it every year now. Thank you!
I am impressed! That looks gorgeous and I know it tastes very good. Thank you for the demonstration.
Always wanted to make chocolate pie. Your microwave method is genius. I will be making this. Thank you😊
The slice is perfect.😋
My FAVORITE Pie.
My Mamma made this like 8 pies at a time. Boy oh boy she would have loved that microwave tip.
I am going to go make it right now
I made this for ny husband, who loves Chocolate Pie, and he LOVED it!!!! I had to use Oat Milk, and you would never know!! DELICIOUS!!!!! 😋
Wonderful!
I hear ya Tammie..”plain ol “and “big ol” table spoon. I get it!! Thank you friend.😀 chocolate pie is the best.
Thanks so much for making this tutorial. this is what we grew up on with my mother and grandmother making it for every holiday. Thanks for slicing it to show the beautiful success!! Most tutorials don't do that. Looks awesome!
My Granny made the same pie, and now we sisters make it! So good!
Hi Tara
How are you doing today?
This looks and sounds like the chocolate meringue pie my Aunt Lee used to make and bring to our family reunions down at Pleasantville Baptist Church in N.C!!
Looks yummy! This is one of my favorites! God bless you and your family! God bless you and your family!❤️
My mom and dad always removed the white stringy thing from the eggs as well. Your pie looks delicious... I'm gonna make it soon! 👍😁
Thank you for this pie recipe. I have been thinking of making a chocolate pie and here it is. You look great . Beth from Minn .
That looks amazing!
My grandma used to make us a chocolate pie & oh how I wish I'd paid attention to how she made it.
Now I have the recipe. THANKS!
This looks and sounds so delicious and easy I can't wait to try it. Thank you so much for sharing.
This is the recipe I've been looking for. I never got it from my mom and it was my favorite pie when I was young. I tried to make it with regular pudding and that wasn't even close. Thank you for posting this! I'll make one next week.
Thank you so much for the nice Video looks so yummy mmmh. Greetings from Germany 🙏 ⚘️
My mom made the best pies, and her meringues were amazing. Love how you are so natural. Thanks 💜
That brought tears to my eyes. Looked just like my granny’s! She always made soft pies because that’s what grandpa liked.
Thanks, tammy
Hey 👋 There
Your Granny's pie is almost the same as the one my Granny made...except she used half and half (from our own cows), and she use more cocoa powder (she liked a dark chocolate flavor, as do I.) I'm going to try her recipe, using your microwave shortcut. Your pie looks lovely and luscious!
Same here, almost the same as my Grandma. But she used almost double the cocoa powder and cream as it mimicked in the olden days the cream that cam on top of the milk. Vintage recipes are the best.
PS Tammy - do you have someone new replying for you on here? The new videos - when you reply does not have your personality - they are curt lacking that Tammy sparkle. Just wondering…praying all is well.
Thanking God for you, your mom, and your grandma!
I treated 11 patients to your deliciousness 😋
Wonderful!
My mother always made a lemon meringue and chocolate meringue
pies. Both are my favorite.
Microwave worked great. That was the trick. Also your meringue advice about well cooked meringue solved my weeping problems.
Thanks so much for this video because this pie looks absolutely delicious and I definitely am going to be making it!💕😋
Thank you for your sweet way of talking to us with so much love! I read so many comments of people who actually made your recipe. You don't see that very often. Can't wait to try my hand at it :) God Bless you!!!!
I made one today! It was a hit everyone loved it and it did not stress me out making it. thank you for the recipe!
Fantastic!
@@CollardValleyCooks collard greens
@@CollardValleyCooks Tammy my granny used all purpose flour instead of cornstarch do you reckon it would still be ok in the microwave to cook it your way. I just can't stand at stove anymore to cook it over stove top. I'm a new SUBSCRIBER and I've fallen in love with watching you cook.
@@susanlanderos5232 Yes it would
@@CollardValleyCooks Thank you so much.
Tammy, I do not have the strength to stand at the stove anymore and stir. Your (and your Mom’s recipe) for using the microwave is positively genius. The hint you gave about having it be thick is also fabulous. I just want to thank you so much. My waistline may not thank you very much 😉 but my whole family thanks you a whole bunch. Sending lots of love!❤
I Thank God for you Miss Tammy, I really do. Your the best, I love ya. God bless you and Chris. Take care. Thank you for this bomb recipe. Im gon give this a try, and when I make it I'm gone come back and let u know how it turned out ok.🤸🥳💕
One of my favorites. Chocolate pie. Microwave makes it even better. Thank you, beautiful
The pie looks exactly how my great cousin baked it I have been looking for this recipe for a mini moons thank you thank you thank you.❤😊
Amazing Disha, so much fun 😋😍😍
I just made this pie for Thanksgiving. First time I have ever made a homemade pie...first time I have ever made meringue. I literally watched your video step by step while I was making it..and it was a hit! Thanks so much Tammy! My family thanks you as well.
Wonderful!
everyone loves a good chocolate pie; thanks for posting this.
YOU LOOK ADORABLE WITH YOUR HAIR CUT ....SO CUTE!!😊
❤ I just finished making two pies from your recipe except I used it used whole milk for my pastors at our church it tastes delicious thank you so much
Awesome!
WOW 😮 WISH I HAD HAD A GRANNY WHEN I WAS A KID 👧
That looks AMAZING😜😋GOODJOB TAMMY 👩🍳🦩💗🦩
Tammy, this recipe is wonderful! I made it last night and my husband loved it!!!! Thank You so much for sharing it! I will never go back to the old fashioned way of making a pie, and you can’t tell that you didn’t stand by the stove and stir for an hour so it wouldn’t stick🥰🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️♥️
Glad you liked it!
Tammy, i got to try this pie. I thought my 65 year-old recipe
Was the best, but I have to try this one. You are #1
You just saved me with your microwave hack! Brilliant!
Very pretty.
I was just thinking of making a chocolate meringue pie. Yummy… I’m using this recipe. 👍🏼
My grandma made the best pies ever growing up. And chocolate, similar to this was my favorite. She use to also make a chocolate gravy, served with biscuits for breakfast. So delicious
My nanny made chocolate gravy with biscuits ❤️. I’ve never had it anywhere else.
Made this!!!! Turned out fabulous! Even with grandma's measurements!!!!! Thank you! Just like my Nans!!!
Great job!
That is one beautiful pie!
Scrolling through YT looking got a pie like my mama made and I found exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
This is my mom and grandmothers recipe too! My mom passed away two years ago and I always thought I had plenty of time for her to teach me her pies. I always had trouble with mine. My mom made the most beautiful and delicious pies! Every Christmas she made two chocolates meringues, two coconut meringues, two pecans and a lemon meringue. That was just the pies lol. She made the most perfect pie crusts I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing your tips. I like the microwave idea. I think I can do this now! Btw, I’ve never seen a mixer like yours..
I like the way you cook! I make both vanilla and chocolate pudding in the microwave, using cornstarch, 6 cups of milk, half & half and Splenda, add a little vanilla and butter as you did. But I see that for a pie the mix must be much thicker so the added eggs do the trick. I have never had much success with meringue but you have inspired me! BTW, I heat my milk first for about 3 minutes, meantime mix the cocoa, Splenda and cornstarch. then whisk it in with a flat bottom whisk so it never sticks, continue to microwave 2 minutes at a time until it is cooked, going down to 1 minutes at a time if needed. In my micro that totals about 12 minutes.
How are you doing today?
I made the banana cream and now today, the chocolate and it was so easy and sooo yummers. It came together in less than 20 minutes. We're doing whipped cream for more of a French Silk type. Thank you!
Great job!
I make this all the time learned to make it from my my and grandma we love it it is the same recipe. So good.
I love chocolate pie. I like it cold. Funny. Good job. I’ll make this during holidays. You should sell these pies.
Thanks so much for sharing this. It looks just like my mother’s did. I lost her four months ago. I’m the only one of her five children who likes to cook so she and I had that in common. She was a wonderful cook and baker. 💜
Tamara, I’m so sorry for the loss of your mother. May you cook & bake away, knowing that she’s right there with you. ☺️
@@McDennant Thank you. 💐
Tamara, I am so sorry for your family’s loss of your Mom. I know that you treasure cooking with her in the kitchen. I miss cooking with my Mom and Grandma and started tearing up reading your comment. Everything we cook has some of our Mom’s in it, as we learned at their elbows. Thanksgivings are so hard without them. Thanksgiving has never been the same. I know I’ll see them in heaven at least. What a reunion it will be!
Since i saw you doing this I make all my chocolate lemon and coconut pies in microwave so easy
Absolutely beautiful!! Just like my mom's (I'm 60)! I was just thinking about her chocolate pie the other day lol. I'm actually a terrible baker so I've never tried any of her pies on my own. Watching your video has given me the courage to do this! I want to do this pie so much!
You can do it!
This is absolutely wonderful. It taste so much like what my mama made when I was growing up she always made graham cracker crust so I made this pie the other day for Christmas with a homemade graham cracker crust. I did put an extra tablespoon of cocoa in it and no meringue or Cool Whip and it turned out absolutely wonderful . It was a huge hit. Thank you so much.
Just like my granny putman made 50 years ago. Love your channel.
I gotta tell you. I felt like cooking today. So I made Mexican chimichangas and all the fixings and your chocolate pie. I did use my mamas recipe, which is almost the same. She used flour instead of cornstarch. That’s the only difference and a stick of butter. Can’t remember how much you used. I think a half stick? Anyway, I made it in the microwave and it was so easy and less cleanup. Thank you so much. My meringue looks fantastic!
My mother taught me to bake this same pie...it was my father's favorite...one thing...no shoes and barefoot in the kitchen...Must be an eastern thing. That just drives me crazy...lol..love your shows...
The Old Dude...
I use Wilton powdered meringue, 1 tbsp plus 2 tsp meringue powder, 1/2 c granulated sugar & 1/3 c cold water. Whip the powder & water in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add in sugar & whip until stiff peaks form. It’s safe to use right away without browning but I always brown mine and it’s absolutely delicious.
I buy it at Walmart in the Wilton section, near the party supplies. I think it’s around $4. Shelf stable. And delicious. You don’t have to worry about messing with egg whites.
My very favorite pie! Thanks so much - looks heavenly!!
Hello 👋 There
