Health Bar Meringue Torte--A Trump Family Tradition! - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
9 egg whites
2 3/4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vinegar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 quart whipping cream
6 whole Heath candy bars, chopped
Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 400.
Beat egg whites,while slowly adding sugar, vinegar, Cream of tartar, vanilla and salt.
Beat until meringue holds it's shape.
Beat some more and still more!
Draw 2- 9-inch circles on baking paper.(Or the inside of a brown paper bag)
Place paper, with circles on a baking sheet.
Spoon meringue equally within the circles.
Reduce heat in oven to 275 and bake tort for 11/2 hours. (Don't encourage children to dance around the kitchen or you will have a flat Meringue)
Turn oven off and keep torte in oven until completely cool.
Whip Cream and add crushed heath bars. (I use the food processor to crush them.)
Frost cooled Tortes like a layered cake.
Garnish with Heath bar pieces.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Cut small as this is VERY RICH!
Variation: Put vanilla frozen custard or ice cream between layers instead of frosting with whip cream and cover with Strawberries, raspberries or peaches.
