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

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.

Blueberry Vinaigrette Dressing
Yummy vinaigrette dressing with a nice richness thanks to some balsamic vinegar and fresh blueberries! I prefer a little less oil for a thicker dressing and my husband prefers a little more oil for a thinner dressing.
