Yield: 6 servings
4 lg Egg whites
3 c Fresh strawberries; sliced
1 c Sugar; +1 ts, divided
1 1/2 c Heavy whipping cream
1/3 c Confectioners' sugar
3/4 ts Vanilla extract
1/4 ts Cream of tartar
1/4 ts Salt
1/2 c Semisweet chocolate chips
Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature
30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine strawberries and
1 ts sugar. In another bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken.
Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla; beat until soft peaks form.
Refrigerate strawberries and whipped cream, covered, until assembly.
Set oven @ 250°F/121°C.
Line a baking sheet with parchment. Trace two 8" circles 1" apart
on paper. Add cream of tartar and salt to egg whites; beat on
medium speed until foamy. Gradually add remaining 1 cup sugar, 1 tb
at a time, beating on high after each addition until sugar is
dissolved. Continue beating until stiff glossy peaks form. Spread
evenly over circles.
Bake until set and dry, 70-80 minutes. Turn off oven (do not open
oven door); leave meringues in oven 1-1/2 hours. Remove from oven;
cool completely.
In a microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Spread
evenly over tops of meringues. Carefully remove 1 meringue to a
serving plate. Remove whipped cream from refrigerator; beat until
stiff peaks form. Spread half of the whipped cream over the
meringue; top with half of the strawberries. Repeat layers. Serve
immediately.
