Boccone Dolce with Berries and Chocolate

Made by Lauren

A family favourite!

• 6 egg whites
• pinch of salt
• 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• strawberries, raspberries, blackberries
• melting chocolate
• whipping cream
• toasted almonds

1. Preheat oven to 250F.
2. Beat eggs and salt until frothy, add cream of tartar. Beat until soft peaks. Gradually add sugar.
3. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Spread with egg mixture, making 8″ circles. Makes enough for 5 circles but only 4 can fit in the oven at a time.
4. Bake for 1 hour, turn off oven and leave in for 1 more hour.
5. Let cool before assembly.
6. Layer whipping cream, chocolate, and berries on each layer. Top with almonds.

This didn’t come out that well, but still had to include it!
