SCHAUM TORTE
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!

SCHAUM TORTE
Virtually unknown outside of Wisconsin, Schaum Torte is the German equivalent of Pavlova. It's perfect topped with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250˚F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper. With a Sharpie type permanent pen, trace 6 -3" circles on each sheet of parchment paper, and flip over in pan (marker side down).
- With an electric mixer on medium-high, beat the egg whites, water and salt till the mixture begins to stiffen and forms a point when beater is pulled out. Continue beating and add, very slowly (over 2-3 minutes), 1 cup sugar, cream of tartar and vinegar.
- Add the other 1 1/4 cups of sugar, again very slowly, and vanilla. Beat for 10 minutes on medium speed.
- Drop large spoonfuls of meringue onto the circles on prepared sheet pans and hollow out the centers with a teaspoon or follow directions in step 5 for piping.
- For piping, snip off a corner of a large zippered plastic bag or decorating bag. Place a large (I use a Wilton 1M) decorating tip into the corner opening. Spoon about 1/2 of meringue into the bag and twist the top closed. Starting in the center of each circle and moving in a circular pattern fill in each circle with meringue. Continue piping around outside edges, forming walls. I usually go around 2 or 3 more times, depending on how tall I want my Schaum Tortes. Use your finger to smooth out the top where the piping stops.
- Place in preheated oven and bake 1 hour, then turn heat off and leave Schaum Tortes in oven for another 30 minutes. Remove and store in an airtight container, or serve with fresh berries or ice cream.
- Follow the first 4 steps as written. Then, transfer the meringue to a 9-inch buttered spring form pan. Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour, turn off heat, and leave shell in the oven for 1 hour more (instead of 30 minutes).

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Grease or line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 2. In a mixer, add egg whites and let sit for 30 minutes to warm up. Also, do not get one little bit of yolk in them! They will not obey if there is even a small amount of oil or fat in them. After they rested for 30 minutes,Beat egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar and vinegar,beat on high until soft peaks form (tips curl)
- 3. Add vanilla, and then add sugar slowly, a little at a time. Beat until very stiff peaks form.
- 4. Using a plastic bag, put the batter in the bag, snip off a corner and pipe circles onto a greased or parchment lined baking sheet. Depending on how big you make them, you can get anywhere from 12 to 24 schaum tortes. ***You can just spoon the mixture on the prepared pans as well. Use a spoon to make a cup in the middle to hold fresh fruit and whipping cream if you like.
- 5. Bake for around 50 minutes. (mine were smaller, so watch that they do not brown. If they start to brown, turn off oven but keep them in the cooling oven until the oven is cold. (about an additional hour) If they do brown, that is ok too! They just will be...well, brown! :)
- 6. Top with any fruits you desire. Add a dollup of whipped cream and enjoy! These are also great all by themselves! Crunchy, light as air and addicting! Easy light desert that everyone enjoys.
