Light and fluffy, place a meringue topped dessert in front of someone you better be prepared for oohs and ahhs. Meringue begins by whipping egg whites and sugar (with a touch of cream of tartar and salt) until it’s glossy and stiff peaks. After it’s baked, the outside has a little crunch. Inside, the egg whites are pillowy soft. We’ll admit, it’s pretty impressive and can turn an ordinary sweet treat into something special. So, the next time you’re looking to up your dessert game, try one of these meringue desserts.

So please try this recipe for a wonderful creamy-smooth, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate experience." - Susan
