Time 5h45m

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 package (1.25 oz) freeze-dried raspberries
4 egg whites, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon red liquid food color
1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
5 teaspoons shortening

Steps:

  • Place oven racks in upper and lower third of oven. Heat oven to 250°F. Line 2 large cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper.
  • In food processor, place raspberries; cover and process until finely ground. Remove 1 teaspoon for decoration; set aside.
  • In large bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar and vanilla with electric mixer on high speed until foamy. Beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time; continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form and sugar is almost dissolved, 5 to 8 minutes, scraping side of bowl occasionally. Do not underbeat. Add remaining ground raspberries and food color; beat at high speed to blend. Fold 1 cup miniature chocolate chips into mixture.
  • Fit large decorating bag with large round piping tip. Spoon half of the mixture into bag. Pipe 1 1/2-inch high with 1 1/2-inch base mounds 1 inch apart on cookie sheet. Repeat filling decorating bag and piping with remaining meringue mixture.
  • Place both cookie sheets in oven. Bake 15 minutes. Rotate pans to different racks and turn from front to back. Bake 15 minutes more. Turn off oven; leave meringues in oven with door closed 30 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle over tops of meringues the remaining 1 teaspoon ground raspberries. Place pans on cooling racks; continue to cool at room temperature, about 2 hours. Remove from parchment paper; place meringues on cookie sheets that have been lined with new cooking parchment paper.
  • In small microwavable bowl, microwave 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips and shortening uncovered on High 60 seconds. Stir, continue to microwave in 15-second increments until mixture can be stirred smooth. Working with one meringue at a time, dip bottom into melted chocolate. Slide bottom of meringue on edge of bowl to remove excess. Return to lined cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining meringues. Let stand about 3 hours or until chocolate is set. Store covered in airtight container in single layer.

Overall, these meringues are a bit too sweet and dry for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I don't recommend this recipe. It's too complicated and the results are not worth the effort.

These meringues are way too sweet. I could only eat a few bites before I had to stop.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meringues turned out flat and dense. They didn't look anything like the pictures in the recipe.

I had a hard time getting the meringues to stiffen up. I ended up having to bake them for longer than the recipe called for.
