Steps:
- Whisk the egg whites until they are foamy. Add salt and cream of tartar and beat until very stiff. Whisk in vanilla, then sugar, a small amount at a time, until the meringue is shiny and stiff. This should take just about 3 minutes by hand and under a minute by electric mixer.
- Whisk in the cinnamon and grated chocolate. Spoon mounds, about 2 tablespoons, on to an ungreased nonstick baking sheet. Leave plenty of space between the mounds.
- Place in a preheated oven at 300°. Bake for 3 hours or until set.
- Carefully remove from the baking sheet but if the meringues are too moist and soft, return to the oven to firm up and dry out some more. Allow to cool completely.
- Serve the meringues dusted with cinnamon and accompanied by strawberries and chocolate-flavored cream.
- To make the flavored cream simply stir half-melted chocolate pieces into stiffly whipped cream, chill until solid.

Steps:
- Whisk the egg whites until they are foamy, then add the salt and cream of tartar and beat until very stiff. Whisk in the vanilla essence, then slowly whisk in the sugar, a small amount at a time, until the meringue is shiny and stiff. This should take about 3 minutes by hand, and under a minute with an electric beater. Whisk in the cinnamon and grated chocolate. Spoon mounds of about 2 tablespoonfuls on to an ungreased non-stick baking sheet. Space the mounds well. Bake in a preheated oven, 150°C/300°F/Gas Mark 2, for 2 hours, or until set. Carefully remove from the baking sheet. If the meringues are too moist and soft, return them to the oven to firm up and dry out more. Let cool completely. Serve the chocolate meringues dusted with ground cinnamon and accompanied by strawberries and chocolate-flavoured cream.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. Look for Mexican chocolate that is made with 100% cacao and has a rich, dark flavor.
- Use fresh egg whites. Fresh egg whites will help the meringues to rise and hold their shape better.
- Whip the egg whites slowly at first. Gradually increase the speed as the egg whites start to foam.
- Whip the egg whites until they are stiff peaks. Stiff peaks will help the meringues to hold their shape and not collapse.
- Fold in the sugar gradually. Adding the sugar too quickly can cause the meringues to deflate.
- Bake the meringues at a low temperature. This will help them to dry out and crisp up without browning.
- Let the meringues cool completely before serving. This will help them to set and hold their shape.
Conclusion:
Mexican chocolate meringues are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are light and airy, with a rich chocolate flavor. These meringues are also gluten-free and can be made ahead of time, making them a great option for parties and potlucks.
