Recipe
Preheat oven to 275ºF. 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.. 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.
In small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over water; let stand 1 minute. Over low heat, stir about 2 minutes, until gelatin dissolves. In electric blender or food processor, blend milk, remaining 1/3 cup 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. Spread cocoa mixture evenly onto prepared meringue shell. Chill 1 hour. To serve, garnish with shaved chocolate.
