The Ronald McDonald House in Charlottesville provides low cost housing (a "home away from home") to families whose children are seeking medical treatment at the UVA Hospital. I had the opportunity to cook for these families while they try to make it through a very difficult time, and decided to make a dessert.
Cooking for people you've never met before is kind of difficult, because you never know what they're going to like, or not like. I settled for chocolate because with the exception of a few really really confused people, most everyone likes it.
You could make this pie with a whipped cream topping, but I thought meringue was a lighter alternative. It's not the prettiest thing I've ever made, but I needed the foil pie tin for easy transportation :)
