Ingredients
Instructions

- Separate the eggs.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff.

- Fold in the beaten egg whites.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. If you don’t have milk, cream or even a non-dairy alternative like almond milk can work. Make sure to fully cool the chocolate mixture before adding the eggs to prevent them from scrambling. For a twist, add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the chocolate flavor.
Serving Suggestions
This pie is best served chilled, topped with a generous amount of Cool Whip for added creaminess. It pairs beautifully with fresh berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a creative twist, consider serving alongside C.Y.M. Brownies for a dessert platter that offers a variety of chocolate delights.
