Ingredients:

3 egg whites
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, divided
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
6 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, divided
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1 cup skim milk
1 1/2 cup reduced-calorie nondairy whipped to, thawed
1/2 oz chocolate, shaved

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 275°F.

2. In large bowl, with electric mixer at high speed, whip egg whites, 1/2
teaspoon vanilla and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Slowly add 2/3
cup sugar, beating until thick and shiny; beat in 2 tablespoons cocoa.

3. Spread meringue into a l0-inch circle on parchment paper-lined baking
sheet. Bake 1 1/2 hours. Turn off oven; leave meringue in oven to cool
completely. Store in airtight container until ready to use.

4. In small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over water; let stand 1 minute. Over
low heat, stir about 2 minutes, until gelatin dissolves.

sugar, the remaining 1/4 cup cocoa and the remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla
until well blended. With motor running, gradually add gelatin mixture,
processing until blended. Pour into large bowl; stir in whipped topping.
Chill until thick enough to hold a shape.

6. Spread cocoa mixture evenly onto prepared meringue shell. Chill 1 hour.
To serve, garnish with shaved chocolate.
