Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Draw an 8-inch circle on the parchment paper as a guide for shaping the meringue.
-
In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and salt, and continue to beat until soft peaks form.
-
Gradually add the granulated sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture on high speed. Beat until stiff peaks form and the meringue is glossy.
-
Sift in the cocoa powder and gently fold it into the meringue until evenly incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.
-
Spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it within the marked circle to form a nest-like shape with slightly raised edges.
-
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and let the meringue cool completely inside the oven with the door closed.
-
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip the cream.
-
Once the meringue has cooled, carefully place it on a serving platter. Fill the center of the meringue with the whipped cream and spread it evenly.
-
Garnish the pie with chocolate shavings or curls for an elegant touch. Chill the Chocolate Angel Pie in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
