Chocolate Meringue Pie - a dissapointment

This was a recipe I found over the net and thought it interesting enough a chocolate pie with meringue. The visual effect of the pie was fantastic. In fact I am simply loading the pictures and writing this post merely because the pie looks so tempting and indulgent. It was in a sense indulgent because it was so so so rich. The chocolate layer was too rich and thick. The meringue layer was nice but it did not have any value add to the pie. Anyway, I decided that I will rework this recipe, make some changes so it will have both the visual effect and taste value.
