Meringue Mushrooms Preparation
1. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper, plain brown paper, or foil; set aside. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. 2. Beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl with an electric mixer on high speed till soft peaks form (tips curl over). Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating about 7 minutes or till very stiff peaks form (tips stand straight) and sugar is almost dissolved. 3. Spoon meringue into a large pastry bag with a 1/2-inch round tip. For stems, pipe thirty-six 1- to 1-1/2-inch pieces about 1 inch apart. For caps, form 36 mounds about 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 1 inch apart. Smooth caps with a moist fingertip, if necessary. 4.Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or till firm but still white. Turn off oven. Let meringues dry in oven with the door closed for 15 minutes. 5. To Assemble, melt chocolate in a small heavy saucepan over very low heat, stirring till smooth. Gently peel merigue stems and caps from paper or foil. Spread about 1/2 teaspoon melted chocolate on the underside of a cap and attach a stem (leave flattest end of stem for mushroom to stand on). Place on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper. Let stand till chocolate is set. Before serving, lightly dust caps with cocoa powder, if desired. Spicy Meringue Mushrooms: Prepare as above, except add 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a dash ground cloves to the egg whites along with the vanilla and cream of tartar. NOTES : To pipe stems, touch the tip of the decorating bag to the cookie sheet and lift as you press out the meringue mixture. To make a group of two or three mushrooms, pipe stems so the bases touch.
