Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bag (16 ounce) frozen strawberries, thawed, halved
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
3 egg whites, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
5 teaspoons cocoa powder, sifted
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar
2 ounces dark chocolate (60%¿70% cacao), shaved

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°. In a bowl, combine strawberries, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and vinegar. Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites until peaks form. Add cream of tartar and a pinch of salt; beat to combine. Slowly add remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Sprinkle cocoa over egg mixture; whip until just combined. Spread into 6 mounds, 3 inches each, on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Make an indentation in the middle of each meringue so sides are 1/2-inch thick. Place in oven, reduce temperature to 300° and bake until meringues are dry on outside and soft in center, 50 minutes. Cool on sheets. Using an electric mixer, whip cream and confectioner's sugar. Top meringues evenly with berry mixture, whipped cream and chocolate.

These meringues were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still enjoyable. I think I would have preferred a different recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of meringues, but these were actually really good. The chocolate flavor was rich and the strawberries were a nice touch.

These meringues were a disaster! They were too runny and wouldn't hold their shape. I ended up throwing them away.

Not bad, but not great. The meringues were a bit too sweet for my taste and the strawberries were a bit tart. I think I would have preferred a different fruit, like raspberries or blueberries.

Easy to make and delicious! I used fresh strawberries from my garden and they were perfect. The meringues were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I will definitely be making these again.

These meringues were a hit at my dinner party! They were light, airy, and melted in my mouth. The strawberries added a perfect tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the meringue. I will definitely be making these again!
