3tablespoonsunsalted butter, melted
1cupnonfat evaporated milk
12ouncesmilk chocolate, coarsely chopped
2largeegg whites, pasteurized if desired (see Tip)
⅓cupgranulated sugar
2tablespoonswater
DirectionsPreheat oven to 350 degrees F.Place graham crackers and cinnamon in a food processor; process into crumbs. Transfer to a medium bowl, add butter and stir until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan (not deep-dish).Bake the crust for 5 minutes. Let cool completely, about 15 minutes.Meanwhile, place chocolate in a medium bowl. Heat evaporated milk in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally, until it just comes to a simmer. Pour the milk over the chocolate. Let stand for 30 seconds. Whisk until smooth. Pour the filling into the crust. Refrigerate until the filling is firm, at least 4 hours or up to 2 days.Place egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan. Attach a candy thermometer and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the syrup starts to boil, begin beating the egg whites at medium speed. Cook the sugar syrup, undisturbed, until it reaches 245 degrees F.When the syrup is at 245 degrees and the egg whites have formed medium peaks, slowly pour the syrup into the egg whites while beating on medium speed. Continue beating until the meringue cools to room temperature, about 4 minutes.Spread the meringue decoratively over the chilled pie.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
