Servings: persons

Meringues:
2 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup sugar
Chocolate Mascarpone:
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
6 tablespoons (3 ounces) mascarpone cheese, softened
1 teaspoon fat-free milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Strawberries:
3 1/2 cups quartered small strawberries (about 1 1/2 quarts)
1/4 cup sugar
Mint sprigs (optional)

1
Preheat oven to 225u00b0.
2
To prepare meringues, cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Draw 6 (4-inch) circles on paper. Turn paper over; secure with masking tape. Place egg whites and cream of tartar in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed until foamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form (do not underbeat). Divide egg white mixture evenly among 6 drawn circles on baking sheet; spread to fill the circles using the back of a spoon.
3
Bake at 225u00b0 for 1 1/2 hours. Turn oven off; cool meringues in closed oven for 30 minutes. Carefully remove meringues from paper. Cool completely. (Meringues can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.)
4
To prepare chocolate mascarpone, sift together 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar and cocoa. Combine mascarpone, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl; stir just until combined. Stir in cocoa mixture.
5
To prepare strawberries, toss berries with 1/4 cup sugar; let stand 15 minutes.
6
Place 1 meringue on each of 6 plates; spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons mascarpone mixture on top of each meringue. Top each serving with about 1/2 cup strawberry mixture. Garnish with mint sprigs, if desired.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
