I noticed there is a Lemon Angel Pie and a Coconut Angel Pie posted so here's the Chocolate Angel Pie. I thought it would be nice to have a choice of lemon, coconut or chocolate for those of you who make Angel Pies. This recipe is actually a combination between one of my church cookbook recipes and a recipe from Woman's Day magazine. ***NOTE: If you printed out this recipe prior to 3/26/11 please reprint. I made revisions once I made the pie. Granted this is not a good pic but maybe I can get a better shot next time...lol!

    SHELL: Beat egg whites in a large bowl with mixer on medium speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar, vanilla and salt; increase speed to medium-high and beat just until whites form soft peaks when beaters are lifted. Beat in sugar, about 1 TBSP at a time, beating just until stiff glossy peaks form when beaters are lifted. Spread meringue with a rubber spatula in outlined circle, scooping sides up to form a rim about 1 1/2 " high. Bake 1 hour 20 minutes until meringue is dry to the touch. Turn oven off; leave meringue in oven for 2 additional hours. Peel off paper.
