Time 5h45m

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 package (1.25 oz) freeze-dried raspberries
4 egg whites, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon red liquid food color
1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
5 teaspoons shortening

Steps:

  • Place oven racks in upper and lower third of oven. Heat oven to 250°F. Line 2 large cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper.
  • In food processor, place raspberries; cover and process until finely ground. Remove 1 teaspoon for decoration; set aside.
  • In large bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar and vanilla with electric mixer on high speed until foamy. Beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time; continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form and sugar is almost dissolved, 5 to 8 minutes, scraping side of bowl occasionally. Do not underbeat. Add remaining ground raspberries and food color; beat at high speed to blend. Fold 1 cup miniature chocolate chips into mixture.
  • Fit large decorating bag with large round piping tip. Spoon half of the mixture into bag. Pipe 1 1/2-inch high with 1 1/2-inch base mounds 1 inch apart on cookie sheet. Repeat filling decorating bag and piping with remaining meringue mixture.
  • Place both cookie sheets in oven. Bake 15 minutes. Rotate pans to different racks and turn from front to back. Bake 15 minutes more. Turn off oven; leave meringues in oven with door closed 30 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle over tops of meringues the remaining 1 teaspoon ground raspberries. Place pans on cooling racks; continue to cool at room temperature, about 2 hours. Remove from parchment paper; place meringues on cookie sheets that have been lined with new cooking parchment paper.
  • In small microwavable bowl, microwave 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips and shortening uncovered on High 60 seconds. Stir, continue to microwave in 15-second increments until mixture can be stirred smooth. Working with one meringue at a time, dip bottom into melted chocolate. Slide bottom of meringue on edge of bowl to remove excess. Return to lined cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining meringues. Let stand about 3 hours or until chocolate is set. Store covered in airtight container in single layer.

I received this recipe from an e-mail group I belong to. You can substitute white chocolate chips if you would like. As an alternative to dropping by teaspoon, you can pipe small mounds on the parchment paper. This will make them relatively the same size.

Tips:

  • Use fresh raspberries. Fresh raspberries have a more intense flavor than frozen raspberries. If you're using frozen raspberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the meringue squares tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the meringue squares in a preheated oven. This will help to prevent the meringue squares from cracking.
  • Let the meringue squares cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Store the meringue squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Raspberry Chocolate Meringue Squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They're light and fluffy, with a sweet and tangy raspberry filling and a rich chocolate frosting. These squares are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
