Directions:Preheat oven to 300º. Lightly grease an 8-inch pie pan.
For the crust, beat egg whites with salt and cream of tartar until foamy. Add sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating to very stiff peaks. Fold in vanilla and nuts. Spoon into prepared pan to form nest-like shell. Build up sides 1/2" above edge of pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes. Place on a cooling rack until cool.
For the filling, stir chocolate and water in double boiler until melted. Cool until thickened. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla. Whip cream with confectioners sugar until stiff; fold in chocolate. Pile into meringue crust. Chill at least 2 hours. Top with more whipped cream and chocolate curls or gratings when you are ready to serve. |

Notes: This recipe came from Pat Coleman, one of Mother's best friends from the Gulf Oil days in Philadelphia. It is the "birthday cake" Ted wants every year. If the weather is humid, leave the crust in the oven until you are ready to add the filling.
