Ingredients: ![]() For The Crust: 1 store-bought ready-made (6-ounce) graham cracker crust For the Filling: 2 cups milk, divided 2/3 cup granulated sugar 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa 3 tablespoons cornstarch 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 large egg 2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For the Meringue: 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup water 8 large egg whites 1 teaspoon cream of tartar |
Instructions: To Prepare The Filling: Combine 1/2 cup milk, 2/3 cup sugar, and next 4 ingredients (2/3 cup sugar through egg) in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Heat 1 1/2 cups milk in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat to 180 degrees F (82 C) or until tiny bubbles form around edge (do not boil). Remove from heat. Gradually add hot milk to sugar mixture; stir constantly with a whisk. Return milk mixture to pan.

Pour into crust; cover surface of filling with plastic wrap. Chill 3 hours or until cold. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C). To Prepare The Meringue: Combine 1 cup sugar and water in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook, without stirring, until candy thermometer registers 240 degrees F (115 C). Beat egg whites and cream of tartar at high speed of a mixer until foamy. Pour hot sugar syrup in a thin stream over egg white mixture; beat at high speed until stiff peaks form. Remove wrap from filling. Spread meringue evenly over filling; seal to edge of crust. Bake at 350 degrees F (180 C) for 15 minutes or until lightly browned; cool on a wire rack. Chill until set. Makes 6-8 servings. |
