- 6 large egg whites

- 3 tbsp cocoa
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 pinch of salt (1/8 teaspoon)
- 1 pinch od cream of tartar (1/8 teaspoon)
- 1 pre-baked pie crust or cookie crust

- Put butter into bowl and, once it's melted, add the chocolate, cocoa, sugar, and salt.
- Start mixing the chocolate and butter together as soon as you see the chips start to melt.
- When the chocolate is completely melted, and the sugar and cocoa are incorporated, remove from heat and mix the yolks in one at a time.
- Set aside and let cool to room temperature.
- While the chocolate cools, add the cream of tartar to the egg whites and beat until stiff peaks form, making a meringue.
- Add about a third of the meringue to the cooled chocolate mixture and mix it in.
- Then add the.rest and fold it in, gently.
- Try not to deflate the eggs while folding.
- Once the meringue is completely incorporated, pour it into the.waiting pie crust.
- Spread evenly.
- Freeze for 2 to 4 hours (longer is better).
