Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and granulated sugar 1 tablespoon at a time. Beat until the egg whites are stiff and shiny and the sugar granules cannot be felt in the whites. Beat in the vanilla, reduce speed to low and add cocoa until combined. With a spatula put the egg white mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 2-inch meringue "kisses" on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, at least 2 inches apart. Bake in the middle of oven for 2 hours. Turn off oven and leave the meringues in it for at least 2 more hours or until meringues are completely dry.
MERINGUES CHANTILLY
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a small glass and a pencil, draw 6 (3 1/2-inch) circles on each piece of paper. Turn the paper face-down on the baking sheets.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, and a large pinch of salt on medium speed until frothy. Add 1 cup of the sugar and raise the speed to high until the egg whites form very stiff peaks. Whisk in the vanilla. Carefully fold the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar into the meringue. With a large star - shaped pastry tip, pipe a disc of meringue inside each circle. Pipe another layer around the edge to form the sides of the shells.
- Bake for 2 hours, or until the meringues are dry and crisp but not browned. Turn off the heat and allow the meringues to sit in the oven for 4 hours or overnight.
- Spread some of the sauce from the stewed berries on each plate. Place a meringue on top and fill with whipped cream. Top with berries and serve.
- Whip the cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. When it starts to thicken, add the sugar, vanilla and orange liqueur and continue to whip until the cream forms stiff peaks. Don't overbeat, or you'll end up with butter!
- Combine the blueberries, one-half pint of raspberries, the sugar and zest in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and cook uncovered over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes. The juice will become a syrup and the berries will be slightly cooked. Off the heat, stir in the remaining raspberries and the framboise. Set aside.

Tips:
- Use the freshest eggs possible. Older eggs will not whip up as well and may result in a meringue that is not as stable.
- Make sure your mixing bowl and whisk are completely clean and free of any grease. Any residue can prevent the meringue from whipping up properly.
- Whip the meringue gradually, starting on low speed and increasing the speed as the meringue begins to thicken. This will help to prevent the meringue from becoming grainy.
- Do not overwhip the meringue. Overwhipped meringue will be dry and crumbly.
- When adding the sugar to the meringue, do so gradually and in small amounts. This will help to prevent the meringue from becoming grainy.
- Use a piping bag fitted with a star tip to pipe the meringue shells. This will help to create a uniform shape.
- Bake the meringue shells at a low temperature for a long period of time. This will help to prevent the meringue shells from cracking.
- Let the meringue shells cool completely before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from making the meringue shells soggy.
Conclusion:
Chocolate-filled meringue shells are a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your meringue shells are perfect every time. So next time you are looking for a special dessert to impress your guests, give chocolate-filled meringue shells a try.
