- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold water
For the Filling:
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
For the Meringue:
- 3 egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Making the Crust
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter.
In a large bowl, combine the butter, flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix until the ingredients form a crumbly dough. Slowly add the cold water and mix until the dough comes together.
Press the dough into the prepared pie dish and bake for 15 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned.
Making the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Add the melted butter to the egg mixture and mix until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between each increment. When the chocolate is completely melted, add it to the egg mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust and bake for 30 minutes, or until the filling is set.
Making the Meringue
In a medium bowl, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and whip until stiff peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and whip until just combined.
Spread the meringue over the top of the chocolate filling and bake for 10 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned.
