Time 3h

Yield 24 meringues

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

5 egg whites, at room temperature
1 pinch salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 -7 ounces superfine sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, grated
4 ounces strawberries, to serve
whipped cream, to serve
chocolate piece, to serve

Steps:

Whisk the egg whites until they are foamy. Add salt and cream of tartar and beat until very stiff. Whisk in vanilla, then sugar, a small amount at a time, until the meringue is shiny and stiff. This should take just about 3 minutes by hand and under a minute by electric mixer.
Whisk in the cinnamon and grated chocolate. Spoon mounds, about 2 tablespoons, on to an ungreased nonstick baking sheet. Leave plenty of space between the mounds.
Place in a preheated oven at 300°. Bake for 3 hours or until set.
Carefully remove from the baking sheet but if the meringues are too moist and soft, return to the oven to firm up and dry out some more. Allow to cool completely.
Serve the meringues dusted with cinnamon and accompanied by strawberries and chocolate-flavored cream.
To make the flavored cream simply stir half-melted chocolate pieces into stiffly whipped cream, chill until solid.

1/8 - 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
15 g/4 oz plain chocolate, grated

Steps:

Whisk the egg whites until they are foamy, then add the salt and cream of tartar and beat until very stiff.

Tips:

Use a combination of good quality dark chocolate and Mexican chocolate for an intense flavor.
Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before whipping them.
Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing to high speed as they begin to foam.
Continue whipping the egg whites until they are stiff and glossy.
Add the sugar to the egg whites slowly, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whip.
Beat until the meringue is thick and shiny and holds stiff peaks.
Fold in the melted chocolate gently until just combined.
Use a piping bag fitted with a star tip to pipe the meringue onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the meringues in a preheated oven at 200°F for 1 hour, or until they are dry and crisp.
Let the meringues cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
