     Title: Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry Meringue Roses
Categories: Cookies, Chocolate, Fruits
     Yield: 24 servings

     3 lg Egg whites
   1/4 c  Sugar
   1/4 c  Freeze-dried strawberries
     3 oz Box strawberry gelatin
   1/2 ts Vanilla extract; opt
     1 c  60% cacao bittersweet
          - chocolate baking chips;
          - melted

 Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room
 temperature 30 minutes. Set oven @ 225-|F/107-|C.

 Place sugar and strawberries in a food processor;
 process until powdery. Add gelatin; pulse to blend.

 Beat egg whites on medium speed until foamy, adding
 vanilla if desired. Gradually add gelatin mixture, 1
 tablespoon at a time, beating on high after each
 addition until sugar is dissolved. Continue beating
 until stiff glossy peaks form.

 Cut a small hole in the tip of a pastry bag; insert a
 #1M star tip. Transfer meringue to bag. Pipe 2" roses
 1-1/2" apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets.

 Bake until set and dry, 40-45 minutes. Turn off oven (do
 not open oven door); leave meringues in oven 1-1/2
 hours. Remove from oven; cool completely on baking
 sheets.

 Remove meringues from paper. Dip bottoms in melted
 chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed
 paper; let stand until set, about 45 minutes. Store in
 an airtight container at room temperature.
