FORGET-IT MERINGUE TORTE



Forget-It Meringue Torte image

Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Prepare your meringue. Place it in your oven, turn it off, and head to bed. (Make sure not to peek!) In the morning, you'll have a pavlova. Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey brought this clever recipe, Molly Chappellet, an owner of Chappellet Vineyards, to The Times in 1978, and Amanda Hesser rehashed it in 2006. It's a perfect casual dessert for a dinner party, especially if the day before looks busy. Serve it with the raspberry sauce, as suggested, to cut through any sweetness.

Butter
1 1/2 cups egg whites (9 to 11 eggs)
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3 cups plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup heavy cream
3 -10-ounce packages frozen raspberries, defrosted, or fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons kirsch or framboise liqueur

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Butter an angel-food-cake pan. In a mixer on medium speed, beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar. With the mixer on high speed, gradually add 2 1/2 cups of sugar. Add the vanilla and almond extracts, and beat to stiff, glossy peaks.

FROZEN LIME MERINGUE TORTE



Frozen Lime Meringue Torte image

This is a recipe from 'Company's Coming Decadent Desserts By Jean Paré' This is a book I received as a gift and have decided to work my way through it. I made this cake for my grandfather's 91st birthday and it's pretty tasty! There are a number of steps involved, but each step is easy. Preparation time is only a guess and does not include freezing time. The book says to put the meringue into a rectangular shape, but I'm sure any shape would work.

  • Place a little bit of the whipped cream mixture on a serving platter to secure one of the meringues to the platter.

Tips:

  • When making the meringue, make sure to beat the egg whites until they are stiff and glossy. This will help the meringue to hold its shape and volume.
  • To prevent the meringue from weeping, add a pinch of salt or cream of tartar to the egg whites before beating.
  • Be careful not to overcook the meringue. If it is overcooked, it will become tough and chewy.
  • When assembling the torte, make sure to spread the meringue evenly over the cooled cake layers.
  • For a neater appearance, use a piping bag to spread the meringue over the cake layers.
  • If you are using fresh fruit, make sure to drain it well before adding it to the torte. This will help to prevent the torte from becoming soggy.
  • For a more elegant presentation, you can decorate the torte with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or shaved chocolate.
