Time 45m

Yield 6-8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, optional
FILLING:
2 milk chocolate candy bars (1.55 ounces each)
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Additional whipped cream, optional

Steps:

  • In a bowl, beat egg whites, vanilla, cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugars, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold in pecans. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-in. pie plate, leaving top edge ungreased. Spread meringue onto the bottom and up the sides of prepared plate. Build up top edge. Bake at 350° for 20-30 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack., If chocolate stars are desired, melt chocolate chips. Transfer chocolate to a small heavy-duty resealable bag; cut a small hole in one corner of bag. On a waxed paper-lined baking sheet, pipe chocolate into star shapes. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes. When ready to serve, carefully remove stars with a metal spatula., For filling, in a heavy saucepan, combine candy bars, unsweetened chocolate and water.

Tips:

  • To make the meringue, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will help the meringue hold its shape and prevent it from collapsing.
  • Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites while beating. This will help prevent the meringue from becoming grainy.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips or other desired fillings gently. Overmixing will deflate the meringue.
  • Bake the meringues at a low temperature (200-225°F) for a long time (1-2 hours). This will help the meringues dry out and become crispy on the outside while remaining soft and chewy on the inside.
  • Let the meringues cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from melting and making the meringues soggy.
  • If you are using a chocolate ganache filling, make sure to let it cool completely before piping it into the meringues. This will help prevent the ganache from leaking out.
  • Store the meringues in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Chocolate-filled meringues are a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of fillings and toppings. With a little planning, you can create beautiful and delicious meringues that will impress your guests.
