Ingredients

• 8oz Dark Chocolate
• Sweat Meal Biscuits
• 1oz Butter (Melted)

Ingredients for Filling and Meringue

• Filling
• 3 Egg Yolks
• 2oz Caster Sugar
• 2oz Cornflour
• 1pt Milk
• 4oz Dark Chocolate
• Meringue
• 2 Egg Whites
• 4oz Caster Sugar
• 1⁄2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Method

Start by preheating the oven to 325°F. Put the sweet meal biscuits in a plastic bag, and crush them with a rolling pin. Then pour into a bowl and stir the butter into the biscuit crumbs until smooth. Next press the biscuit mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9in baking dish or tin.

To make the filling, beat the egg yolks, sugar and corn flour in a large bowl until they form a smooth paste. Heat the milk until almost boiling, then slowly pour it into the egg mixture, whisking well. Then return the mixture to the saucepan and cook gently, whisking constantly, until it thickens. Remove from the heat and melt the chocolate in a heat proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Then pour the chocolate back into the saucepan and whisk the egg into the mixture. When finished pour the filling over the sweet meal biscuit base prepare earlier.

To make the meringue, whisk the egg whites in a large mixing bowl. Gradually whisk in about two thirds of the sugar until the mixture is thick and glossy. Fold in the remaining sugar and the vanilla essence and spread the meringue over the filling. Finish by baking the pie in the center of the oven for 30 minutes and serve warm.
