Ingredients
8 servings
- •6 egg whites
- •0.25 teaspoon salt
- •0.25 teaspoon cream of tartar
- •1.5 cups granulated sugar
- •3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- •2 teaspoons cornstarch
- •1 tablespoon vinegar
- •2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- •2 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate, melted
- •3 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- •1.5 cups whipping cream
- •2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- •1 (1 ounce) square bittersweet chocolate, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
- Beat together egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar to soft peaks in a large bowl. Beat in sugar, about three tablespoons at a time, until stiff and glossy peaks form. Sift cocoa and cornstarch over egg whites, and gently fold in. Gently fold in vinegar, vanilla, and melted chocolate.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and spread the meringue into an eight inch circle. Bake in the center of the oven for 1 1/2 hours until the outside is crispy and the center is soft. Using a metal spatula, loosen the meringue from the parchment paper, and remove to cool on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely, about one hour.
- Whip cream with the sugar, and spread over the meringue. Arrange strawberries decoratively over the top, and drizzle with chocolate.
