Chocolate Meringue Tart
Ingredients
  • 1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 1/4 cups white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 egg whites
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Melt butter in a cast iron skillet over a medium-low heat setting, allowing it to simmer gently.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of sugar, cocoa powder, and flour to create a dry mixture.
4
Then, whisk egg yolks with milk in another bowl until well combined, before adding the sugar mixture to create a smooth blend.
5
Combine the sugar and egg mixture with melted butter in the skillet, stirring constantly over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens and reaches a suitable consistency.
6
Be cautious not to let this mixture burn, as it can easily go wrong.
7
Then, add a hint of vanilla to the mixture for added flavor.
8
Pour the prepared filling into the baked crust, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
9
In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until they become soft and fluffy.
10
Add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar to the egg whites and beat until they become glossy and stiff, forming a meringue.
11
Spread the beaten egg whites evenly over the hot filling, making sure they touch the edges of the crust.
12
Bake the dessert in the preheated oven until the meringue is golden brown, taking approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
