Ingredients
Pie Crust:
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter , frozen and diced
- 1/4 cup ice water
Chocolate Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter , melted
- 3/4 cup evaporated milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
Meringue Pie Topping:
- 4 large egg whites , room temperature
- 1/3 cup sugar
Instructions
Pie Crust:
- Add the flour, salt, and butter to a food processor and pulse, adding the water through the chute one tablespoon at a time (you can spoon the water directly out of the cup of ice water directly into the food processor to make sure it is still ice cold) until the dough begins to form tiny crumbles (don't let it become a ball).
- Empty it into a sheet of plastic wrap and press it quickly into a ball (you don't want the heat of your hands to melt the butter) and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before rolling it out to use.
- Line the pie plate with your pie crust rolled 1/8 inch thick ,and press the edges into a fluted pattern using two knuckles.

Meringue Pie Topping:
- Add egg whites to a stand mixer on high speed until foamy, then add in the 1/3 cup sugar and keep beating until eggs reach stiff peaks.
- Top your cooled chocolate pie with egg white meringue.
- Cook for 10 minutes, remove and let cool to room temperature.
