Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. FOR THE CRUST: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F, then lightly oil a 9-inch pie pan.
  2. In a food processor, combine chocolate wafers & dates, processing until finely chopped, then add oil & water & process until moistened.
  3. Press into the bottom & sides of the prepared pie pan.
  4. Bake crust for 10 minutes, or until crisp, then cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. FOR THE FILLING: In a small bowl, combine coffee (if using) & 1 tablespoon of water, then sprinkle the gelatin on top & set aside to soften.
  6. In a small saucepan, whisk together the egg, milk, 3 tablespoons of brown sugar & cocoa until smooth, then cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until thickened, from 5 to 7 minutes. DO NOT LET MIXTURE COME TO A SIMMER.
  7. Remove from heat, add reserved gelatin mixture & stir until dissolved.
  8. Add chocolate & vanilla, stirring until melted, then set aside to cool to room temperature, at least 30 minutes.
  9. Meanwhile, in a wide saucepan, bring about 1 inch of water to a bare simmer over low heat.
  10. Then, in a heatproof bowl, large enough to fit OVER the saucepan, combine egg whites, cream of tartar, remaining 3 tablespoons of water & remaining 5 tablespoons of brown sugar. Set the bowl over the saucepan & beat with an electric mixer at low speed until an instant-read thermometer registers 140 degrees F, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  11. Increase mixer speed to high & continue beating for another 3 1/2 minutes, then remove bowl from the heat & beat meringue until cool, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
  12. Whisk 1/4 of the meringue into the reserved chocolate mixture until smooth. Scrape chocolate mixture into remaining meringue & use a whisk to incorporate it with a folding motion.
  13. Spoon this into the crust & chill, uncovered, until set, about 3 hours. The pie will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
