Strawberry Meringues

These little meringues are bite-size and and can be eaten without utensils, so they are perfect for parties. The Meringue tastes a bit like roasted marshmallows, and goes wonderfully with the whipped cream and the strawberries.

Ingredients:
4 egg whites
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1/8 tsp. of salt
1/4 cup of granulated sugar
1/3 cup of icing sugar

TOPPING:
1 cup of heavy whipping cream
sliced strawberries


~ Beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt in a medium bowl until foamy. Slowly add the granulated sugar until soft peaks form. Slowly add icing sugar, 1 Tbs. at a time, until the meringue is glossy and stiff.
Heat oven to 275 F.
Cut parchment paper to fit on baking sheets.
Use a piping bag to pipe the meringue onto the parchment in little disks (about 1 1/2 - 2 inches in diameter, and about 1/2 inch high), 1 inch apart.
Bake for 45-60 minutes (turn the tray halfway through baking), or until golden. Leave in oven overnight, or at least 4-6 hours to crisp up.

Whip whipping cream, and pipe (with a piping bag) onto the crisp meringues. Arrange the sliced strawberries on top.
