How to Make Chocolate Angel Strata Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat egg whites, vinegar, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon until soft peaks form.
  2. Gradually add sugar to the egg white mixture, beating continuously until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  3. Spread the meringue evenly over the baked pie crust.
  4. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned and a knife inserted comes out clean.
  5. While the meringue bakes, prepare the chocolate filling: In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, combine egg yolks, chocolate chips, and water.
  6. Stir constantly until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  7. Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly.
  8. Spread a thin layer of the cooled chocolate over the baked meringue.
  9. In a separate bowl, beat 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 cup heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  10. Spread half of the whipped cream mixture over the cooled chocolate layer.
  11. Gently fold the remaining chocolate mixture into the remaining whipped cream.
  12. Spread the chocolate-whipped cream mixture over the layer of whipped cream.
  13. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set completely.
