Lightly grease a 9-inch fluted pie pan with a removable bottom.
Process the cookies in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the butter and process to combine.
Press the mixture into the base and up the sides of the prepared pan. Place on a baking sheet and chill for 15 minutes.
FILLING
Melt the chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water, until melted and smooth. Set aside and cool for 10 minutes.
Spread the cookie crust with the chocolate hazelnut spread. Pour over the chocolate mixture. Cover and chill for 2 hours until firm.
TOPPING
Preheat grill to high. Beat the egg whites and sugar on medium speed until stiff and glossy.
Spoon the meringue mixture over the chocolate pie. Place under the grill until it is just golden in colour.
Leave to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
