chocolate raspberries pavlova
for the chocolate meringue base:
6 egg whites
one and a half cups superfine sugar
3 tablespoons best quality cocoa powder, sieved
1 teaspoon balsamic or red wine vinegar
2 oz bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
for the topping:
2 cups heavy cream
4 cups raspberries
2-3 tablespoons coarsely grated bittersweet chocolate
Preheat the oven to 350 and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Beat the egg whites until satiny peaks form, and then beat in the sugar a spoonful at a time until the meringue is stiff and shiny. Sprinkle over the cocoa and vinegar, and the chopped chocolate. Then gently fold everything until the cocoa is thoroughly mixed in. Mound on to a baking sheet in a fat circle approximately 9 inches in diameter, smoothing the sides and top. Place in the oven, then immediately turn the temperature down to 300 and cook for about one to one and a quarter hours. When it's ready it should look crisp around the edges and on the sides and be dry on top, but when you prod the centre you should feel the promise of squidginess beneath your fingers. Turn off the oven and open the door slightly, and let the chocolate meringue disc cool completely.
When you're ready to serve, invert on to a big, flat-bottomed plate. Whisk the cream till thick but still soft and pile it on top of the meringue, then scatter over the raspberries. Coarsely grate the chocolate so that you get curls rather than rubble, as you don't want the raspberries' luscious colour and form to be obscured, and sprinkle haphazardly over the top, letting some fall, as it will, on the plate's rim.
Serves 8-10.

Most popular are meringues, creme brule' (sp), flan, pudding, etc. Homemade cakes call for a lot of eggs and so do things like lemon curd and Boston cream pie filling.
The meringues are fun as you can make all sorts of shapes by piping them out of a plastic bag. For Halloween I made cool "dry bones" that my kids couldn't stop eating. You can also make snowflake shapes, snowmen, etc. You can add color and any kind of flavoring by adding extracts. We've tried vanillla, almond, and strawberry, too.
I like the Mexican flans best. They are so easy and can be thinner and eggie or very thick, creamy and carmel-ie. The variety of recipes for this are endless. I've seen entire cook books with JUST Mexican flan recipes.
I also make egg salad sandwiches for my kids and make them sweet by adding a good amount of sweet pickle relish so the kids will gobble them up. It works and we never have left overs.

If you're looking for a sweet drink, thats good for you; yes! In an blender, set on puree; put a dozen ice cubes, 4-6 eggs, 1/2 cup of sugar, vanilla extract, 2x pints of milk & a dash or two of cinnamon; puree til the ice no longer sounds like its destroying the blades & pour into cups/mugs/etc...

Raw eggs, yoke only, add tablespoon of sugar, whip, makes great dessert drink. To that simple recipe you can add just about any type of liqueur or even a teaspoon of espresso. The more you whip it the better it tastes.
