- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Walnuts (finely chopped)

Preparation
Step 1
Combine egg whites, salt and cream of tartar in mixing bowl. Beat until foamy. Add sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time beating after each addition until sugar is blended. Continue beating until mixture stands in very stiff peaks. Fold in chopped nuts and vanilla. Spoon into lightly greased 8" pie pan; make a nest like shell, building sides up 1/2" above edge of pan. Bake in a slow oven 300° for 50 - 55 minutes. Cool to room temperature. (Meringue shell or entire pie may be made the day before using.)
In a saucepan melt chocolate in water, stir until chocolate is melted. Cool until thickened. Add vanilla. Whip the cream. Fold chocolate mixture into whipped cream. Pile into meringue shell. Chill 2 hours before serving.
