Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 egg whites
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c pecans, in pieces
3 oz bakers sweet chocolate baking bar
3 Tbsp water
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 c heavy cream, whipped

  • 2. Crust: Beat Egg whites, salt, cream of tarter until foamy. Then add sugar gradually beating until very stiff. Be patient, this takes awhile. Fold in nuts and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Spread into 8" greased pie pan, building up the sides. Bake at 300 degrees for 50-55 minutes.

  • 4. Whip heavy whipping cream. Fold in cooled chocolate mixture. Pile into cooled meringue crust. Chill for 2 hours. ENJOY!

Tips:

  • For the perfect chocolate angel pie crust, use a combination of graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before filling.
  • When making the chocolate mousse filling, be sure to use high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate. This will give the pie a rich, decadent flavor. You can also add a tablespoon of instant coffee granules to the melted chocolate to enhance the flavor.
  • To make the filling extra smooth and creamy, use a food processor or blender to combine the chocolate, cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  • When pouring the filling into the pie crust, be careful not to overfill it. Leave about 1/2 inch of space at the top of the pie crust so that the filling doesn't overflow when it bakes.
  • Bake the pie for 25-30 minutes, or until the center of the pie is set. Do not overbake, or the pie will become dry and crumbly.
  • Once the pie is baked, let it cool completely before serving. This will help the pie to set and firm up.

Chocolate angel pie is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its combination of chocolate mousse filling and chocolate angel pie crust, this pie is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
