Easter Dessert 

4 large eggs at room temperature

1 scant cup of sugar

1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 Tablespoon mesquite flour

1 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla

Strawberries

1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1/2 cup sugar

Whipping cream

 

Preheat oven to 250

Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Draw 6 3" circles on the parchment paper leaving room for spreading.

 

Separate eggs. Beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt at high speeds until soft peaks form.  Add sugar 1 tablespoon at a time beating until stiff peaks form.  Slowly add mesquite and vanilla, beat gently until just combined.
 
Spoon merinque onto the circles on the parchment paper making the sides higher and the center slightly scooped out.  Bake for 35 minutes, until crisp.   Turn off the oven and leave the merinques in the oven for 2 hours.  Handle carefully when removing them from the parchement paper, they will be very crisp.
 
Slice a large box of strawberries.  Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar.  Let sit for up to 3 hours.
 
Serve berries in the merinque shells and top with whipped cream.
 
(I made this last week and made a chocolate custard with the left over eggs yolks and put the custard in the meringues and then topped with berries.  At a gathering Tuesday night folks were still talking about the dessert!)
