Light, airy strawberry-flavored meringues dipped in chocolate and topped with crushed freeze-dried strawberries for an elegant yet fun treat.

Ingredients

3 large egg whites, room temperature

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 tsp cream of tartar

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp strawberry extract

Pink gel food coloring (optional)

1/2 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted

Freeze-dried strawberries, crushed (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 225°F (110°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy.
  3. Add cream of tartar and salt, then continue beating until soft peaks form.
  4. Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  5. Fold in strawberry extract and, if desired, a little pink gel food coloring.
  6. Transfer mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe small mounds onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave meringues inside for another hour to dry out completely.
  8. Once cooled, dip bottoms in melted chocolate and place on parchment until set.
  9. Sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried strawberries before the chocolate hardens, if using.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Do not refrigerate as they absorb moisture quickly.

To refresh, bake in a 200°F (95°C) oven for 10 minutes.

You can substitute raspberry or vanilla extract for different flavors.

Dark or semi-sweet chocolate works best to balance sweetness.
