Chocolate Meringue Pie

The first thing I did making this pie I got all of my ingredients ready. I did this because once you start heating your milk mixture with all your dry ingredients you don't want to leave it alone because it will burn. Once I got those things ready I separated the eggs. I put the 3 egg whites in the kitchen aid mixer then added the cream of tarter and started to whip those. As I did that I kept stiring my chocolate mix. Once my eggs whites got to soft peaks I added the vanilla and slowly started to add my sugar. Once I added all the sugar I whipped it just a little longer and bam I had stiff peaks. Then I got back to the chocolate mixture it was starting to thicken nicely. So I started to temper my egg once that was done I put the egg in the mixture. I stirred that till mixed then I put the chocolate into my pie. Then I realized that I forgot the vanilla in my chiclolate. But I don't think it would have effected my flavor. Then I started to put my meringue on top of the chocolate. Once that was done up put it in the oven for 10 minutes and then I had a chocolate meringue pie that was finished.
