This is a simple recipe that tastes as wonderful and authentic as the dessert you would get in a German restaurant. I prefer to use strawberries, but anything goes with this one! You can make smaller mounds to have meringue cookies ...a low-fat snack!
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups egg whites
- 2 teaspoons vinegar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups white sugar
- 0.5 gallons vanilla ice cream
- 1 package frozen sweetened strawberries , 10 ounce
Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Butter a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Blend in vinegar and vanilla. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. With a large spoon, drop meringue in 8 mounds (about 4 inches diameter), close together on baking sheet. Indent the center of each meringue with the back of a spoon.

Mystery Ingredient Wild Blueberry Pie
This blueberry pie recipe is not runny and has a mystery ingredient that adds a nice twist. I came up with this tasty version while searching the spice cupboard for nutmeg. My family loved it so much that I made two more pies the next day! Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
Heather's Beef Enchiladas
This beef recipe is one of my family's favorites. The enchiladas can be made in advance and then reheated, or you can make the different components ahead of time and assemble and bake for a quick dinner. Serve with sour cream and picante sauce or salsa.
