Bake in 275* oven for 1-1/2 hous or until crispy outside but still soft in the centre. Transfer to rack; let cool completely. Place on serving plate.

Topping: Slice or halve stawberries. Set aside. In a bowl whip cream with sugar and pour onto meringue. Arrange strawberries decoratively over top.

Tips: 1. Egg seperate better cold but whip up better at room temperature.

2. If you have no bittersweet chocolate on hand to drizzle over berries, just sieve some unsweetened cocoa powder over top for a dazzling effect.
