Meringue Mushrooms


Meringue Mushrooms

                Ingredients                           Yield: 2 doz.
  • 4                   Egg Whites
  • .5g (1/4tsp) Cream of Tartar
  • 150g (3/4c)  Granulated Sugar
  • 60g (1/4c)    Chocolate
  • as needed    Cocoa Powder
                Instructions
  1. With a mixer, whip egg whites and cream of tartar to soft peaks.
  2. Once soft peaks have formed, gradually add in the sugar while whipping until all sugar is used.
  3. Whip until stiff peaks but do not over whip. (If the meringue is liquidy, the egg whites were not whipped enough before adding in the sugar).
  4. Place meringue in a piping bag with a large circle tip.
  5. On a sheet pan lined with parchment, pipe stems and caps for the mushrooms in equal amounts.
  6. Lightly dust the caps with cocoa powder and blow off any excess.
  7. Bake in a preheated 200 degree Fahrenheit oven for 2 hours until meringues are dry and crisp.
  8. Melt chocolate in microwave.
  9. Using a toothpick make holes in the underside of the caps so the stems will fit in.
  10. Dip the stems in the chocolate and place in the inverted caps and leave until chocolate hardens.
  11. Store in an airtight container!
