Chocolate Chip Meringues with Strawberries or Peaches	Printer Friendly version
3 large egg whites 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar dash salt 3/4 cup powdered sugar 3 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips 3/4 tablespoon vanilla 1 cup sliced strawberries, or 1 can of peaches, drained 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Draw 3 inch circles on the paper. Turn paper over and secure with masking tape. Beat egg white, cream of tartar and salt at high speed of a mixer until foamy. Gradually add 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form (do not under beat). Fold in chocolate chips and vanilla. Divide the egg white mixture evenly between the 2 drawn circles. Shape the meringues into nests using the back of a spoon. Bake at 250 degrees for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until dry. Turn oven off and cool the meringue nests in closed oven for at least 3 hours. Carefully remove the meringue nests from paper. Combine strawberries (or peaches) and granulated sugar. Spoon the strawberry mixture evenly over meringues.
