Ingredients

  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped almonds, toasted
  • FILLING:
  • 1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup baking cocoa
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 cups whole fresh strawberries

Directions

  • Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Trace a 9-in. circle on paper.
