- whip them with some sugar and end up with this glorious mass?
Then, if you are like me and Nigella (well, it is her recipe) you add chocolate. Just about everything is better with chocolate! Spread it out in a wonderful, glossy, sticky circle and bake long and slow.
Before you know it you have this -
Only don't try to take it off the baking paper too soon, like I did. Just saying. Because it has a tendency to want to break up. Though I did have tantalising glimpses of a gooey chocolaty centre under that crisp crust.
Now I just have to add whipped cream and a whole heap of raspberries. Only my guests won't be here for a little while. And I will be on my second glass of wine (at least) by the time desert is served. So the chances of further photos are slim. But I promise to have a bit for you too, if you like.

ReplyDeleteJust left our emails and headed over here to see the title of your post - you have no idea how much I'm laughing (and Sarah's comment above is hilarious!!!) Second time I've seen this meringue today - surely a sign from above that it needs to be tried! Enjoy your dinner!
ReplyDeleteGosh one of my favorite things to eat. And you added chocolate perfection. Won't be making it anytime soon though cause it just won't stop raining. :-)
ReplyDeletethat looks delicious: its so long since I made meringue
ReplyDeleteIs there a little dinner party chez toi? Looks very delicious indeed...hope there was space to eat without having to move the Bernina! ;-)

ReplyDeleteI love a baked meringue. Are you making pavlova? I still remember the episode when Nigella made it.
ReplyDeleteFeel free to post any leftovers this way - I'll save you from the torture of eating next-day meringue!
ReplyDeleteBlimey looks like all the others have scoffed this so my chances of getting left overs are slim :-(
ReplyDeleteDroooooool! I love meringue just the normal way, adding chocolate just takes it to another level! Hope you enjoyed it
ReplyDeletecor, I do so love meringue! Never put chocolate in it before though? It did make me giggle to read about you with your wine, and the impact on your photo taking ability :D
