Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cups sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large egg whites at room temperature
- 1 baked pie crust 9-inch, preferably homemade
- 0.25 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a saucepan, whisk together sugar and cornstarch, then gradually add milk and cream, stirring until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and boils. Remove from heat and add chocolate and butter, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Add vanilla extract and let the chocolate mixture cool to room temperature.
- Beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the baked pie crust. Spread meringue over the filling, sealing edges to crust.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes or until meringue is golden. Let cool before serving.
Notes
Ensure that the meringue completely covers the filling and touches the crust all around to prevent shrinking.
