Eileen’s Erlenmeyer Chocolate Moose Pie

Ingredients:

Crust:

2 egg whites

½ c. sugar

1/8 tsp. tartar sauce

nuts (e.g. pecans)

Filling:

¾ c. chocolate chips

3 tbsp. hot water

1 c. whipping cream

1 tsp. vanilla

Crust:

Beat egg whites until they cry for mercy. Sprinkle in the sugar. Do the same for the tartar sauce, sifting it if it proves insubordinate to homogeneity. Spread the goop in a pie pan, sprinkle on some nuts, and bake at 270 for an hour. Invite the result to cool.

Filling:

In a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips, add the water, and encourage the two to mingle. When both parties feel comfortable, remove the pan from the heat. Next, give the cream 100 lashes, or as many as necessary to fluffen the saucy chap into a stiff and structured respectability. Mix the chocolate into the cream, add the vanilla, and beat the dickens out the mixture. Finally, pour everything into the pie crust and chill.

Are you sure about that "tartar sauce"? That's a mayonaise/pickle cream sauce that is typically used to to add a bit of zip to fried fish Perhaps "cream of tartar" (a powder that keeps beaten egg whites stiff) would work better in this recipe. But perhaps moose prefer the fish sauce. :)
