Directions

FOR MERINGUES:
PREHEAT oven to 300º F. Lightly grease baking sheets.

BEAT egg whites, salt and cream of tartar in large mixer bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar; beat until sugar is dissolved. Gently fold in morsels. Spread meringue into ten 3-inch nests with deep wells about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.

BAKE for 35 to 45 minutes or until meringues are dry and crisp. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

FOR CHOCOLATE SAUCE:
HEAT evaporated milk to boiling in medium, heavy-duty saucepan. Stir in morsels. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is slightly thickened and smooth. Remove from heat; stir in sugar, vanilla extract and salt.

DRIZZLE meringues with Chocolate Sauce and fill with fruit (whole blackberries, blueberries or raspberries, sliced kiwi, peaches or strawberries); serve immediately.

Remember to follow baking instructions before consuming.

I made these for Easter. They were wonderful and very easy to make. Next time I make them I'll make a larger batch....they were gone in a flash. Thank you Nestle for the many delicious recipes you provide for all of us Very Best Bakers..

Fruit-Filled Chocolate Chip Meringue Nests

I ended up making a double batch of these, as the first batch I made with ALL SPLENDA, not a good result. So in the next batch I used SPLENDA for baking, with much better results. I need to watch how much "sugar" is in all my baking, but some times, a litttle sugar makes all the difference. That aside, these meringue nests are very good, and I will be making them again..
