1 1/2 teaspoons 7.5mlVanilla

Heat chocolate and water over very low heat -- keep stirring until smooth.

Stir in BEATEN egg yolks. Add vanilla.

Beat egg whites in large mixing bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar to egg whites until stiff.

Then fold chocolate into remaining whites.

Pour 4 cups into greased 9 inch pie pan which has been sprinkled with sugar.

Refrigerate the rest of the mousse.

Bake at 350F for 25 minutes, until set. This makes a chocolate meringue.

Chill crust for 1 hour. Center will fall to make a chocolate meringue shell. Spoon chilled mousse into shell. Refrigerate overnight.

This is our family's all-time favorite Pesach dessert, for the Seder or ANY TIME. It's actually too wonderful to save for one week a year.
