  • 4. Sift cocoa and cornstarch over top; gently fold in.
  • 5. Gently fold in vinegar, vanilla and chocolate. Mound onto circle on prepared baking sheet.
  • 6. Bake in 275F oven for 1-1/2 hours or until crispy outside but still soft in the center.

The meringue cracked a bit while it was baking, but it still tasted good.
