Chocolate Cinnamon Swiss Meringues
Make on Fresco
Meringues. Love to make ‘em or hate to make ‘em, I think we all love to eat ‘em. These are spectacular on their own. But hit them with cream, berries or shaved chocolate (or all of the above) and you are in pretty special territory. There is no typo on this recipe. YES, you do whip the whites after adding the sugar for that long with no heat. This recipe originally appears in Cooking with Tenina the best selling cookbook which you should all have a copy of by now, or our friendship is in serious question!!
I think these are just perfect for Christmas. Don’t you agree? Too cute.
