   ["Bake pie crust ahead.", "", "Melt chocolate bits, add 4T. milk, 4T. sugar, slightly beaten egg yolks. Cook 10 minutes or so.", "", "Beat 4 egg whites until stiff and fold in after first mixture cools slightly.", "", "Top with whipped cream.", "", "(May keep all day)", "", "Julia's addition: That's the way my great-aunt wrote it out for me (she's 80). It's sort of a spare recipe - she didn't particularly want to give it to me. I think it's funny that she wrote chocolate ""bits"". One thing to remember is to make sure the melted chocolate, milk, and sugar mixture is cooled down a little before you add in the egg yolks or they'll cook and make it lumpy. Also, once the chocolate filling is made, pour it into the pre-baked pie shell and refrigerate it for 3 or 4 hours and it'll set up nicely so that you can spread whipped cream on the top."]
