Secrets to Sweet-Talking

Want to be a sweet-talker who can sweep anyone off their feet? Talk you way to success or achieving what you desire? It would be really convenient, isn’t it? I think it is an art that we can learn. (For some its natural???). However, sadly, in this post I cannot reveal the secrets because I actually don’t really know, hehe… Hey… do you think having sweet-tooth can help you better in sweet talking? Coz I have not-a-secret to sooth you aching sweet-tooth, dear chocolate lover friends!!!!

So, how about some Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies, whipped cream and some chocolate syrup combo. SINFUL! So, off to the recipe which I alter a bit from “The Chocolate Deck” (for the recipe of meringue).

Part 1: Choco-chip Meringue Cookies

3 A grade egg whites (cool to saperate easily/ room temperature before whisk)
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Pinch salt
1/2 cup castor (or fine) sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup bittersweet/semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon cocoa powder (I added for colour and taste)

So, first position 2 racks in ur oven. One at upper third and one at lower third. Preheat to 275 F or around 125 C. Line with parchment.

Beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, cocoa powder and salt. (Electric mixer at medium hi. However, I actually don't have it so i used whisk just now. Highly not recommended coz i think right now i get biceps hypertrophy of my right arm, ngeee...) The bowl u use is better be copper/stainless steel and very clean. Coz fat (even yolk residue) will cause it not to form peaks. Don't use plastic one coz fat can stick there. Continue till they form soft peaks. Then add sugar 1 tbs at a time and continue till you get stiff peaks. The mixture should looks glossy. If u take mixture in spoon and turn it upside down then it wont fall off. Then beat in vanilla. After that, fold in the chips.

Later using 2 spoons, heap 1 spoonfuls on the sheet. Bake for 30 mins, then switch the position of the rack and continue for 1 hour, or til light golden brown. Cool on wire rack for 10 mins, peel of from parchments and cool on racks. Later, keep in airtight container. Simpan for 1 week.

(Meringue can be eaten just like that. Its crunchy on outside and chewy at middle like marshmallow~~~)

Part 2: Whipped cream

Whipping cream in a box??? Then whisk (yeah kekuatan tangan lagi!!!) or just beat till just nice.
Or whipped cream in a can. Senang!

Part 3: Chocolate syrup

Go and buy. hehe... or if rajin, melt some chocolate over hot water.

 Put in The cream in dessert bowl. Crumble the merigue on top of that. Then just put some chocolate syrup. If u fancy, snow some cocoa powder on top. Tada..... Cavity-inducing happiness!!!!

You can make ur own personal combo by putting brownies??? and fruits??? anything u want kan??? owh... the possibilities. Haish... why am I advocating something that will increase the workload of all doctors and future doctors... Hurm, so, don't eat this too much k?
