Chocolate Chiffon Pie

• 1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1 envelope (1 tablespoon) unflavored gelatin
• 2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, grated
• 1/2 cup boiling water
• 4 egg yolks
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 egg whites
• 1/2 cup white sugar

1. Place cold water in a small bowl and sprinkle gelatin over top. Set aside 5 minutes to soften. Place grated chocolate in a large heat-proof bowl. Pour boiling water over chocolate and stir until smooth. Stir gelatin mixture into chocolate mixture; stir until gelatin is completely dissolved.
2. In a small bowl, whisk egg yolks with 1/2 cup sugar until smooth and light. Whisk egg yolks into chocolate mixture, then stir in salt and vanilla extract. Allow mixture to cool.
3. In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add remaining 1/2 cup sugar, continuing to beat until whites form stiff peaks. Fold egg whites into cooled chocolate mixture. Spread into baked pastry shell and chill at least 2 hours, or until firm.
