You can double the recipe for the meringues and save some for a later date; they freeze beautifully for up to 2 months. Just remove them from the freezer and top them with the strawberry mixture-no thawing required. You can also substitute raspberries for the strawberries , if you prefer. Ingredients:
1 large egg white |
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar |
dash of salt |
1/4 cup powdered sugar |
1 tablespoon semisweet chocolate chips |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 cup sliced strawberries |
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 250°.
2. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Draw 2 (3-inch) circles on paper. Turn paper over, and secure with masking tape. Beat egg white, cream of tartar, and salt at high speed of a mixer until foamy. Gradually add 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form (do not underbeat). Fold in chocolate chips and vanilla.
3. Divide the egg white mixture evenly between the 2 drawn circles. Shape the meringues into nests using the back of a spoon. Bake at 250° for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until dry. Turn oven off, and cool the meringue nests in closed oven for at least 3 hours. Carefully remove the meringue nests from paper. Combine strawberries and granulated sugar. Spoon the strawberry mixture evenly over meringues.
