Surprise Meringues
|
 |
3 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup (6 ounces) miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Place egg whites in a large mixing bowl; let stand for 30 minutes. Add vanilla,
cream of tartar and salt on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add
sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high until stiff glossy peaks form and
sugar is dissolved, about 6 minutes. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts. Drop by
rounded teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake
at 250° for 40-45 minutes or until firm to the touch. Turn oven off; leave
meringues in oven for 1-1/2 hours. Remove to wire racks. Store in an airtight
container.
Yield: 4 dozen.
