Meringue Dessert Base
6 egg whites 1/4 tsp salt 2 cup sugar 1 tsp vanilla 1 Tbsp vinegar
Beat egg whites until stiff, adding 1 cup sugar gradually while beating. Add Vanilla, and add a second cup of Sugar while beating, alternating 1 Tbsp Sugar with 1/2 tsp Vinegar, and so on, until 1 Tbsp Vinegar is used. Pile into greased and lightly floured pie plate, building center into a dome. Bake 1 1/2 hours at 275, followed by 1/2 hour at 300. Cool well, but do not refrigerate.
Meringue Dessert
Fill a pie pan (heaping) with meringue, bake, let it cool, and pull the top off in large pieces. There will be a large cavity in the middle. The bottom and the top were crunchy meringue, while there was a layer on the bottom that was gooey -- like the topping of a Lemon Meringue pie. A bittersweet chocolate sauce was poured on the sticky bottom (left when the not-quite-baked inside collapsed), and vanilla ice cream went in next, followed by strawberries, and then the top was replaced, piece by piece.
