    Title: Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry Meringue Roses
    Categories: Cookies, Chocolate, Fruits
    Yield: 24 servings

    3 lg Egg whites
    1/4 c Sugar
    1/4 c Freeze-dried strawberries
    3 oz Box strawberry gelatin
    1/2 ts Vanilla extract; opt
    1 c 60% cacao bittersweet
    - chocolate baking chips;
    - melted

    Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room
    temperature 30 minutes. Set oven @ 225-|F/107-|C.

    Place sugar and strawberries in a food processor;
    process until powdery. Add gelatin; pulse to blend.

    Beat egg whites on medium speed until foamy, adding
    vanilla if desired. Gradually add gelatin mixture, 1
    tablespoon at a time, beating on high after each
    addition until sugar is dissolved. Continue beating
    until stiff glossy peaks form.

    Cut a small hole in the tip of a pastry bag; insert a
    #1M star tip. Transfer meringue to bag. Pipe 2" roses
    1-1/2" apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets.

    Bake until set and dry, 40-45 minutes. Turn off oven (do
    not open oven door); leave meringues in oven 1-1/2
    hours. Remove from oven; cool completely on baking
    sheets.

    Remove meringues from paper. Dip bottoms in melted
    chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed
    paper; let stand until set, about 45 minutes. Store in
    an airtight container at room temperature.
