Time 4h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
3 oz white chocolate baking bar, melted
1 can (21 oz) raspberry pie filling
1 pint (2 cups) fresh strawberries, halved
Fresh mint sprigs, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 275°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. In large bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar with electric mixer on medium speed until foamy. On high speed, beat in 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar at a time until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is almost dissolved, about 6 minutes. Spread meringue to form 10x10-inch heart shape on cookie sheet, building up edges with back of spoon.
  • Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until firm and dry to the touch. Turn oven off; let meringue shell stand in closed oven 1 hour. Slide meringue shell and parchment paper from cookie sheet onto wire rack. Cool completely, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in medium bowl, beat whipping cream with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. In large bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar with mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Gradually beat in melted baking bar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in whipped cream.
  • Carefully remove meringue shell from parchment paper; place shell on serving plate. Spread cream mixture evenly in shell. Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours.
  • In medium bowl, gently mix pie filling and strawberries. Spoon 1 1/2 cups fruit mixture over top of dessert. Garnish with mint sprigs. Serve remaining fruit mixture to be spooned over individual servings.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 egg whites
3 1/2 Tbsp raspberry Jell-o (dry)
3/4 c sugar
tsp dash of salt
1 tsp vinegar
6 oz chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. Beat egg whites gradually adding Jell-o and sugar until they are stiff and glossy.
  • 2. Fold in vinegar and salt; beat well.
  • 3. Add chips.
  • 4. Drop by teaspoons on a baking sheet (ungreased).
  • 5. Bake in a low oven (250 degrees) for 40-50 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh egg whites. Older egg whites will not whip up as well and will result in a less stable meringue.
  • Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature. This will help them whip up more easily.
  • Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing the speed as they begin to foam. This will help to prevent the egg whites from over-whipping and becoming grainy.
  • Add the sugar slowly, one tablespoon at a time. This will help to prevent the meringue from becoming too stiff.
  • Continue whipping the meringue until it is stiff and glossy. The meringue should hold peaks when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.
  • Pipe the meringue into desired shapes onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake the meringues at a low temperature (200°F) for 1-2 hours, or until they are dry and crisp.
  • Let the meringues cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.

Conclusion:

Valentine's Day meringues are a delightful and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for showing your loved ones how much you care. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create beautiful and delicious meringues that will be sure to impress.
