Please see the previous winning recipe from Becky and
Our Member - Susan has sent us the following winning recipe!
Chocolate Torte Royale Meringue
2 egg whites
1/2 tsp vinegar
salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Add salt and cinnamon to egg whites and beat until peaks form. Gradually add sugar and vinegar, beating well after each addition until meringue is stiff; Spread on brown paper in an 8" circle; (You must spread or pipe a ridge around the edge to hold filling-I have actually cheated and used a pie plate; Bake at 275F for 1 hour, turn oven off and let cool two hours
Filling
6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate(chocolate chips work fine)
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup water
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
chopped pecans (optional)
Melt chocolate with water; Spread 2 tbsp over bottom of shell; To remaining chocolate add beaten egg yolks, blend well and chill til thick.; Whip cream, sugar, cinnamon; Fold into chocolate mixture, spread into shell and chill; Garnish with whipped cream and chopped pecans.
Susan tells us she has doubled this recipe for a bigger crowd, but the pie pans are the easiest. She also does not care for the pecans, as it is such a velvety dessert, the bits of pecans ruin it for her
Congratulations Susan!!!
