A beautiful crisp but chewy chocolate meringue topped with whipped rice cream, fresh berries and some dairy free chocolate chips.
Preheat the oven to180 oC
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw an 8” circle on the paper, I use this as a guide to what size the meringue base should be
Put the egg whites in a bowl and whisk until stiff peaks form
Gradually add the caster sugar, cocoa powder and cornflour while constantly whisking the mixture
The meringue should form stiff peaks and be glossy
Place the meringue onto the baking sheet and shape into the circle marked on the paper
Using a spatula, run it up the outside edge from the bottom to top all round the meringue, this strengthens the sides
Flatten the top with a spatula
Place in the centre of the oven for 40 minutes
Turn off the oven and open the door but leave the meringue in the oven until it cools
Spoon the whipped cream on top of the meringue once it has cooled completely
Decorate with the berries and chocolate chips and serve immediately
