Strawberry Shortcake Merengues

Ingredients

  • 2 Large eggs (reserve whites only)
  • 1/2 cup strawberry MuscleEgg egg whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 20-30 drops stevia (or use 2 tbsp granulated sweetener of choice)
  • 4 tablespoons coconut manna or butter
  • 1/2 cup strawberries (roughlychopped)

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 200 and line a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper. Also prepare a large pastry bag or gallon size zip lock bag with a large star tip. Set aside.
Step 2
In the bowl of a very clean and dry stand mixer or bowl, beat both single egg whites for 1-2 minutes until they begin to fluff. With mixer still on, sprinkle on cream of tartar and slowly pour in MuscleEgg egg whites. Beat on highest speed until stiff peaks form.
Step 3
Carefully add egg whites mixture to piping bag/ziplock bag fitted with the baking tip. Pipe out mixture into a nest type form (solid bottom, then swirl around to make edges/sides). Repeat for remaining mixture.
Step 4
Bake for 35-40 minutes , turn OFF oven, open door slightly, and let the merengue dry out for a couple of hours or even overnight.
Step 5
Fill with chopped strawberries and drizzle on melted coconut butter. Add coconut flakes, chocolate chips, or chocolate sauce over the top before serving.
