Servings: 12

 

Ingredients:

2 ounces 60–70% dark chocolate, ground finely (see Kitchen Tip #2)

¼ teaspoon cream of tartar

2 tablespoons Dutch process cocoa powder

4 large egg whites, room temperature

2 cups assorted fresh winter fruit

1 cup granulated sugar

2 cups heavy cream, chilled

6 tablespoons confectioner's sugar

1 teaspoon cornstarch or tapioca starch

1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon white vinegar

Equipment:

baking paper

baking sheet

stand mixer

whisk

bowl

oven

Cooking instruction summary:

  1. To make the chocolate meringue: Preheat the oven to 225F convection or 250F conventional. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the egg whites, vanilla bean paste, and cream of tartar until soft peaks begin to form.
  3. Sift together the sugar, cocoa powder, and cornstarch. With the motor running at low speed, add the sugar mixture 1 tablespoon at a time to the egg whites. Add the vinegar and dark chocolate. Whip until fully incorporated and the egg whites hold a stiff peak (the whip attachment will have a sturdy egg white tail when removed).
  4. Scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape into a 9- to 10-inch circle with a slightly higher edge. Bake until the outside is dry and starting to crack slightly, 1 to 1 hours. Turn the heat off and leave the meringue in the oven to cool, about 1 hour.

Food Joke

Every night, after dinner, a man took off for the local tavern. He spent the whole evening there, and arrived home very drunk around midnight each night. He always had trouble getting his key into the keyhole and getting the door opened. His wife, waiting up for him, would go to the door and let him in. Then she would proceed to yell and scream at him, for his constant nights out, and coming home in a drunken state. But, Harry continued his nightly routine. One day, the wife was talking to a friend about her husband's behavior, and was particularly distraught by it all. The friend listened to her, and then said, "Why don't you treat him a little differently, when he comes home? Instead of berating him, why don't you give him some loving words, and welcome him home with a kiss? He then might change his ways." The wife thought that might be a good idea. That night, Harry took off again, after dinner. And, about midnight, he arrived home, in his usual condition. His wife heard him at the door, and quickly went to it, and opened the door, and let Harry in. This time, instead of berating him, as she had always done, she took his arm, and led him into the living room. She sat him down in an easy chair, put his feet up on the ottoman and took his shoes off. Then she went behind him, and started to cuddle him a little. After a little while, she said to him, "It's pretty late, dear. I think we had better go upstairs to bed, now, don't you think?" At that, Harry replied, in his inebriated state, "I guess we might as well. I'll be getting in trouble with the stupid wife when I get home anyway!"
