Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 350 degree F.
  • Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
  • Use a pencil to draw or trace an 8-inch circle on the paper.
  • Turn paper pencil-side down; set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl beat the egg whites, vinegar, vanilla, salt,
  • and cream of tartar with an electric mixer on medium to high speed until egg whites are foamy.
  • In a small bowl stir together 1 cup sugar, cocoa powder, and cornstarch.
  • Continue to beat egg white mixture on medium to high speed while gradually adding the sugar mixture.
  • Beat until stiff, glossy peaks form (tips stand straight).
  • Spoon egg white mixture onto prepared baking sheet, spreading to fill the circle, and smoothing with a spatula to make a flat top.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degree F.
  • Bake for 30 minutes more or until meringue is cracked on top. Turn oven off.
  • Let stand in the oven for 30 minutes.
  • Remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
  • In a clean large bowl beat the whipping cream and 1 tablespoon sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed or with a whisk until stiff peaks form.
  • Place meringue on a serving platter.
  • Top with the whipped cream, spreading evenly to within 1/2 inch of the edges. Arrange fruit on top of cream.
  • Cover loosely and chill 30 to 60 minutes.
  • To serve, slice into wedges.
