  1. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment or possibly wax paper and draw an 8 inch circle on each sheet. (The simplest way is to find a bowl or possibly cake pan with desired dimensions, plonk it on and draw around it.)
  2. To prepare meringues: In a large bowl with an electric mixer or possibly a whisk, beat egg whites till stiff. Add in sugar, a spoonful at a time, beating well after each addition. Believe me - and I speak as someone often criminally impatient - it does make life easier to go slowly here. Sprinkle cocoa and vinegar over top and, using a rubber spatula, gently but firmly fold into mix till completely incorporated.
  3. Using a rubber spatula, divide meringue mix among 3 circles, spreading proportionately.
  4. Bake 1 hour, then turn off oven, leaving meringues inside till just slightly hot. Carefully peel paper away from meringues and finish cooling on a wire rack.
  5. To prepare creme patissiere: Using an electric mixer or possibly whisk, beat egg yolks and sugar together. Add in cocoa and flour and mix well. Set aside.
  6. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, hot lowfat milk and cream. Don't boil.
  7. Whisking egg mix constantly, slowly add in lowfat milk mix and then pour everything back into saucepan. Return to medium heat and, stirring constantly, bring to a boil and cook till thickened, about 10 min. Remove from heat and stir in melted chocolate and vanilla.
  8. Let mix cold, but avoid putting it into refrigerator as it will become too solid. You can stop it from forming a skin by pressing a piece of buttered parchment or possibly wax paper against surface or possibly by sifting a layer of confectioners' sugar over top. I often prefer to plunge the saucepan into a sink full of iced water and just keep stirring.
  9. To assemble cake, place one meringue disk on a flat plate, spread with a third of chocolate cream, then carry on layering. Scatter over minced pistachios, that will gleam out, a tender grass-green against the dark chocolate. Then just cut in.
