Schaum Torte

Ingredients

cup Egg whites, (3 to 4 large - fresh! - eggs) at room tempe
2 teaspoons Vinegar
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
2 cups Sugar
Strawberries or raspberries to fill tortes

Preparation

2
Beat egg whites in bowl (not plastic) until very stiff; add vinegar and vanilla. While mixer runs, add sugar very gradually (I usually do that at 1 tablespoon at a time) until all has been added. Continue beating until mixture is well blended and egg whites again form stiff peaks. Reduce speed to medium and beat 1 additional minute.
3
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Butter 2 large cookie sheets and place large spoonsful of the batter to form circles 4 - 5 inches in diameter. You will get 8 to 10 individual circles. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, then turn oven off and let cool COMPLETELY in the oven. (These are VERY DELICATE! Will break easily!)
4
Just before serving, fill each shell wih strawberries or raspberries and ice cream or whipping cream.
5
This is a wonderful, and very elegant dessert - but, given the filling, is not particularly for the calorie conscious unless you use some low-fat version of the same. I would have a hard time accepting that!
