Chocolate Bavarian Pie

Ingredients

• 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
• ½ cup sugar, divided
• ⅛ tsp salt
• 2 eggs, separated
• 1 cup milk
• 1 pkg 6 ounce chocolate chips
• ½ tsp vanilla
• 1 cup whipping cream, whipped
• 1 9-inch baked pie shell

Method

1. In a saucepan mix the gelatin, 1/4 cup sugar and salt. Beat the egg yolks and milk; stir into the gelatin mixture along with the chocolate chips. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin dissolves and the chips are melted. Remove from heat; stir in the vanilla. Chill until the mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon.
2. Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form; gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff. Fold into the chocolate mixture along with the whipped cream. Spoon into the baked pie shell. Refrigerate until set. At serving time garnish with whipped cream, if desired.
