I made mine in mini pie pans and used a cream cheese/sour cream topping slightly sweetened with confectioner's sugar. The filling is excellent.

Directions
In saucepan, combine sugar and salt. Chop up unsweetened chocolate and add with milk; gradually stir into dry mixture. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture boils and thickens. Cook 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat.
Stir small amounts hot mixture into yolks; return to hot mixture; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add butter and vanilla; cool to room temperature.
(To prevent a crust from forming, put clear plastic wrap or waxed paper directly on top, touching surface of the hot pudding clear to sides of bowl.)
Pour into baked pastry shell.
Meringue:
Beat 3 egg whites with ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar and ½ teaspoon vanilla until soft peaks form.
Gradually add 6 tablespoon sugar, beating until stiff peaks form and all sugar is dissolved. Spread atop pie, sealing to pastry.
Bake in moderate oven 350℉ (180℃) F about 12 to 15 minutes, or until meringue is golden. Cool.
