• 3. Mix cornstarch with a little water and add to the boiling cocoa mixture. Cook until thickened. Por into pie shell.
• 4. FOR MERINGUE TOPPING Beat egg whites and the 3 tablespoons sugar until a stiff peak forms. Place on top of pie & bake until lightly browned.

Steps:

• Make the crust:
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and salt. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives used like a scissor, or mix with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the ice water over the flour mixture, tossing with a fork; adjust enough of the remaining water, by the tablespoon, tossing, so that the dough holds together. Flatten into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, with a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough into an 11-inch circle. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the edge under to make a stand-up edge; crimp. Prick the bottom all over with a fork. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove the pie plate to a wire rack to cool.
• Make the filling:
• In a heatproof bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks to break up, and then set aside. In a small, heavy saucepan, stir together the sugar, flour and salt. Gradually stir in the scalded milk. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking, until thickened and bubbly, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir a little of the hot mixture into the yolks. Stir the yolk mixture back into the saucepan. Heat over very low heat, stirring, for 2 minutes, and do not let boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Whisk in the chocolate, butter, and vanilla until melted and smooth. Scrape into a clean bowl. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the filling and let cool for 10 minutes. Remove the plastic wrap and scrape the filling into the piecrust. Cool on a wire rack.
• Make the meringue:
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small saucepan, stir together the cornstarch, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, and the water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat. In a large bowl, add the salt to the egg whites. With an electric mixer at medium speed, beat just until soft peaks form. Add the cornstarch mixture and beat until creamy. Gradually beat in the remaining sugar and continue to beat until soft peaks form, 6 to 8 minutes. Spread the meringue mixture over the cooled chocolate filling, make sure the meringue touches the piecrust edge all the way around. Bake until the meringue is golden and its internal temperature registers 150 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve soon after. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a cast iron skillet over medium low heat, melt the butter.
• Combine one cup of the sugar with cocoa and flour. Beat the egg yolks with the milk and add them to the sugar mixture.
• Add the sugar and egg mixture to the skillet with the melted butter or margarine and cook gently, stirring constantly until thick. (Watch this mixture closely as it has a tendency to burn)! Add the vanilla. Pour the mixture into the baked crust.
• Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form; add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until meringue is glossy and stiff peaks form. Spread beaten egg whites over the hot filling be sure the whites touch the edges of the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes (or until the meringue is golden brown).

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2. With a fork in a large bowl, thoroughly mix the sugar, salt, cocoa, and corn starch. (Mixture will be the color of sand.)
• 3. With a spoon, cream butter into mixture.
• 4. Beat egg yolks until foamy; add milk to egg yolks and mix thoroughly.
• 5. Stir egg yolks and milk mixture into the sugar, salt, cocoa, corn starch, and butter mixture, stirring until very well mixed.
• 6. Cook in an uncovered sauce pan, over low heat, stirring constantly until boiling. You don't want to scramble the eggs in the mix, so do keep it on low heat. It takes time to bring this to a boil--be patient and don't overcook. Turn down heat to simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until thick.
• 7. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and let stand 10 minutes.
• 8. Pour into two 9-inch pie shells and allow to cool.
• 9. Use the 6 egg whites to make meringue topping.
• 10. MERINGUE TOPPING: Add 1/2 tsp cream of tartar and beat the whites until frothy. Add 12 T granulated sugar, a little at a time, until stiff peaks are formed. With a spoon, put mounds of meringue around the edge of the pie filling. Spread to touch inner edge of crust all the way around. Heap remainder of meringue in center of pie and spread to meet the rest of the meringue.
• 11. Slide the pie into oven preheated to 325 degrees. Cook 15 to 20 minutes, or until meringue is set and soft brown on peaks. For added browning, you can broil the meringue, but watch it very carefully--it does not take long to burn meringue.
