Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, these pretty-in-pink strawberry meringues are dipped in rich chocolate for a light yet decadent treat.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 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). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a clean mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until frothy.
  3. Gradually add granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  4. Add salt, strawberry extract, and a touch of pink food coloring. Gently fold to combine.
  5. Spoon or pipe meringue into small rounds onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 1.5 hours, then turn off the oven and let the meringues cool inside with the door slightly ajar.
  7. Once fully cooled, dip the bottoms of each meringue in melted chocolate. Let set on parchment paper.
  8. Sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries on top for garnish if desired.
  9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

  • Ensure no yolk is in the egg whites to help them whip properly.
  • Do not open the oven during baking or cooling to avoid cracking.
  • Great for make-ahead desserts—store for up to 5 days in a dry place.
