--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1      9 inch        baked pastry shell
  1      cup           sugar
    1/2  cup           all-purpose flour
  6      tablespoons   unsweetened cocoa powder
    1/2  teaspoon      salt
  2      cups          milk
  3                    egg yolks -- slightly beaten
    1/2  cup           butter or margarine
  2      teaspoons     vanilla

                       Meringue Topping
  4                    egg whites
    1/2  teaspoon      cream of tartar
  6      tablespoons   sugar

Combine sugar, flour, cocoa and salt in medium saucepan; stir in milk. Cook
over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture boils; remove from
heat. Stir half of the mixture into beaten egg yolks; return mixture to
sauce pan. Continue cooking and stirring over medium heat until mixture
boils; boil and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in butter and
vanilla. Cool for 10 minutes, pour into pie shell. Heat oven to 350
degrees. Meanwhile, prepare meringue topping: In a small mixer bowl, beat
egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add sugar and beat
until stiff peaks form. Spread this on warm pie filling, carefully sealing
to the edges of crust. Bake 5 to 8 minutes, or just until meringue is
lightly browned. Cool to room temperature; chill for several hours.
Refrigerate leftovers.
