If you can look at this delicious strawberry chocolate meringue torte without drooling on your keyboard, then you must be dreaming. Ingredients:
4 large egg whites |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1 cup sugar |
2 cups sliced strawberries |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips, divided |
2 cups frozen reduced-calorie whipped topping, thawed and divided |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 250°.
2. Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Draw 2 (8-inch) circles on paper. Turn paper over, and secure with masking tape.
3. Beat egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar at high speed of a mixer until foamy. Gradually add 1 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form.
4. Spread half of the mixture into each circle on prepared baking sheet using the back of a spoon. Bake at 250° for 1 hour or until the meringues are crisp.
5. Sprinkle strawberries with 1 teaspoon sugar; cover and set aside.
6. Sprinkle each meringue with 1 1/2 tablespoons chocolate chips. Return the meringues to oven; turn off heat, and let stand for 5 minutes. Spread the softened chocolate with a spatula. Cool meringues to room temperature.
7. Place 1 meringue on a serving platter; spread 1 cup whipped topping over top. Arrange half of strawberry mixture over the whipped topping. Top with remaining meringue; spread 1 cup whipped topping over top. Arrange the remaining strawberry mixture over the whipped topping. Place 1 tablespoon chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH 1 minute or until chips are soft. Stir chocolate; drizzle over top of torte.
