Combine gelatin, sugar, cocoa and salt in medium saucepan. Add egg yolks and evaporated milk. Whisk together. Let stand for 2 minutes. Heat mixture on medium-low for 10 minutes, whisking constantly until smooth and slightly thickened.

Stir in first amount of skim milk and vanilla. Remove from heat. Cool, stirring several times, until mixture is slightly gelled and able to mound.

Beat egg whites together until soft peaks form. Gradually add gelatin mixture, beating constantly until fluffy and doubled in volume.
