Ingredients (view qty in metric system instead)
Crust: 2 large egg whites 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar pinch salt 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Filling: 3/4 cup milk 6 ounces chopped semisweet chocolate 2 tsp. instant espresso powder pinch salt 3 large egg yolks 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract 1 cup heavy or whipping cream 1/2 cup toasted chopped walnuts
Directions
For Crust: Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Butter an 8 inch metal pie pan. Beat egg whites in a large bowl until foamy. Add cream of tartar and salt and beat whites to soft peaks. Beat in sugar 1 tbsp. at a time. Beat to very stiff peaks. Beat in vanilla. Spread 2/3 of the meringue into bottom and up sides of pie pan. Put remaining meringue in a pastry bag with a star tip. Pipe meringue decoratively around edges of crust. Bake crust 45 minutes. Turn off oven and let meringue dry in oven at least 1 hour with the door ajar. Transfer pan to a rack and cool completely.
For Filling: Scald milk over medium heat. Add chocolate, espresso powder and salt and whisk until chocolate is melted and espresso powder is dissolved. Remove pan from heat and beat in yolks 1 at a time. Cook mixture over low heat, beating constantly, 1 to 2 minutes until thickened. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and stir in vanilla. Cool mixture, stirring occasionally. Beat cream to stiff peaks in a medium bowl. Fold into chocolate mixture. Spoon half of filling into crust. Sprinkle with walnuts and spread remaining filling over. Cover and refrigerate pie at least 2 hours before serving.
Serves 8 to 10.
