TIME: Prep: 15 min. + standing Bake: 45 min.
Ingredients:
- 3 egg whites

- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 package (4 ounces) German sweet chocolate
- 3 tablespoons water

Place egg whites in a mixing bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in gelatin. Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high until stiff peaks form and sugar is dissolved.
