Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 140°C (275°F) (Gas Mark 1).
- Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Draw 3 rectangles, 10 x 25cm on the baking paper. You can just fit two rectangles on the one baking tray.
- Whisk the egg whites until the soft peak stage.
- Add the caster sugar (I add mine all at once) and continue to whisk until the mixture is stiff and glossy.
- Add the vinegar and cornflour and whisk for a couple more minutes. The mixture should be able to hold its shape if the bowl is turned upside down.
- Prepare an icing bag with a large star nozzle and fill with the meringue mixture.
- Using your template, pipe (10cm) lines until you have filled all three rectangles.
- Bake in the oven for 1 hour. After 1 hour turn the oven off and leave the meringues to cool in the oven.
- When your meringues are cool, melt the chocolate and spread it over 2 of the meringue layers making sure you go right to the edge.
- Place in the fridge for about 10 minutes to harden.
- Assemble just before serving by whipping the double cream with some icing sugar and chopping your strawberries (leave about 8 whole ones for decoration).
- Place one chocolate meringue on your serving dish and spread with one third of the cream and top with half the chopped strawberries.
- Place the second chocolate meringue on top and spread with another third of the cream and the remaining chopped strawberries.
- Place the plain meringue layer on top and spread with the remaining cream.
- Arrange the whole strawberries on top and drizzle over any remaining chocolate.

STRAWBERRY AND CHOCOLATE MERINGUE COOKIES
Dividing the meringue and adding ground-up freeze-dried strawberries to half gives these cookies that real strawberry taste. Of course, adding Cocoa powder to the other half will provide these with a great chocolate taste.

Steps:
- In a food processor, I ground two bags (.26 oz each) of Brothers all-natural freeze-dried strawberry fruit crisps. Make sure you have the lid on your food processor, or the powder will fly everywhere.
- Separate four eggs, so you have the whites. I start with three bowls. One is for the egg whites, one is to separate the yolk from the whites, and a third bowl for the egg yolks. The reason to separate the yolk from the whites is that if any of the yolks would leak into the egg white, you can not use the egg white. Add the four egg whites to a stand mixer (using the whisk beater) and beat on medium speed till they are frothy. Next, add the cream of tartar and turn the mixer to high. Beat for about a minute.
- IMPORTANT STEP - Slowly add one tablespoon of sugar at a time. You want the sugar to incorporate into the egg white. After you have added all the sugar, continue on high till you get stiff peaks. This could take 10 to 12 minutes or a little longer if necessary. You should be able to take the whisk beater, and if you turn it up, the peaks should not droop. If you touch the meringue, it should feel stiff and be shiny.
- Split the meringue into two bowls. In one add 2 TBSP of cocoa powder and mix in gently. In the other bowl, add 2 TBSP of the ground strawberry powder and 1 to 2 drops of red gel or food coloring. I used the gel coloring, but if all you have handy is food coloring, by all means, use that. Using two piping bags and two large star tip add a flavor to a bag. Pipe them onto two cookie sheet pans lined with parchment paper. Place both pans into the oven at 225° for 45 minutes. Turn the oven off and let them sit in the oven for an hour.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread ¾ cup (150 G) of sugar on the baking sheet, then bake for 7 minutes to warm. Remove the sugar from the oven and leave the oven on.
- In a large clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric hand mixer on low speed until foamy, then add the salt. While beating, add the warm sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, gradually increasing the mixer speed, until thick and shiny peaks form, 5-7 minutes. Add the vanilla and fold in until just incorporated.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Heap 10 equal scoops of meringue onto the baking sheets, spacing at least 1 inch (2 ½ cm) apart. Use the back of a spoon to create a divot in the center of each mound.
- Bake for about 90 minutes, until the meringues lift cleanly off the parchment. Once done, turn off the oven and let the meringues cool in the oven for 2 hours, up to overnight. When removed from the oven, the meringues should sound hollow when tapped.
- Meanwhile, make the strawberry puree: In a small saucepan, combine the thinly sliced strawberries, ¼ cup (50 G) sugar, and the lemon juice and let sit for 10 minutes to macerate, until some of the juices have released.
- Transfer the pan to the stove and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, until the strawberries have slightly softened but are still vibrant red. Remove from heat and push through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds. Let cool. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- To serve, heap ¼ cup (60 ml) whipped cream onto each meringue nest. Top with 1 heaping tablespoon pound cake cubes and 2 tablespoons quartered strawberries. Drizzle each with 2 tablespoons strawberry puree.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use fresh strawberries. Fresh strawberries have the best flavor and texture for this recipe. If you can't find fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature. Room temperature egg whites will whip up more easily and give you a more stable meringue.
- Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing the speed as the whites begin to foam. This will help to prevent the whites from becoming overbeaten.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will be dry and crumbly, and they won't hold their shape well.
- Add the sugar to the egg whites gradually, one tablespoon at a time. This will help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing and making the meringue grainy.
- Bake the meringues at a low temperature. A low temperature will help to prevent the meringues from browning too much.
- Let the meringues cool completely before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from making the meringues soggy.
Conclusion:
Strawberry and chocolate meringue kisses are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized with your favorite flavors. Whether you enjoy them plain, filled with whipped cream, or dipped in chocolate, meringue kisses are sure to be a hit.
