Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

For meringues
3 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
For sauce and filling
2 oz fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), finely chopped
3 tablespoons canned low-fat evaporated milk
6 tablespoons low-fat sour cream (30% reduced, not nonfat)
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh orange zest
Special equipment:
Special equipment: parchment paper; a pastry bag fitted with a plain 1/2-inch tip

Steps:

  • Make meringues:
  • Preheat oven to 175°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Beat whites with cream of tartar and salt using an electric mixer at high speed until they just hold stiff peaks. Gradually add sugar, beating at high speed until whites hold stiff, glossy peaks.
  • Spoon meringue into pastry bag and pipe 6 mounds (2 inches in diameter and 2 inches high) on baking sheet.
  • Bake meringues in middle of oven until crisp but still white, about 2 hours.
  • Turn off oven and let meringues cool in oven 1 hour, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • Make sauce and filling:
  • Melt chocolate in evaporated milk in a small heavy saucepan over very low heat, whisking until smooth, then cool. (If sauce seems too thick to pour, thin with water.)
  • Stir together sour cream and zest in a small bowl.
  • Just before serving, make a hole in base of each meringue with your finger and spoon in 1 tablespoon of orange cream. Put each meringue on a plate and spoon 1 tablespoon chocolate sauce over it.

These meringues were a great way to use up some leftover egg whites. They were easy to make and turned out perfectly. The orange and cream flavors were a nice change from the traditional vanilla meringue.

These meringues were a bit too sweet for my taste, but the orange and cream flavors were still very enjoyable. I think I would try reducing the amount of sugar next time I make them.

I was so excited to try this recipe, but unfortunately, my meringues didn't turn out as expected. They were too soft and didn't hold their shape. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I'll definitely try again soon.

These meringues were a bit too soft for my taste. I think I would bake them for a few minutes longer next time. Other than that, they were very delicious and I would definitely make them again.
