📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper. With a Sharpie-type permanent pen, trace six 3-inch circles on each sheet of parchment paper, and flip over in pan (marker side down).
2
In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, or using an electric hand mixer on medium-high, beat the egg whites, water and salt until stiff peaks form (a peak on the edge of the beater holds its shape without bending).
egg whites (see note 1)6water1 tablespoon
3
With mixer still on medium-high, very slowly add, over the course of ⏱️ 2-3 minutes, 1 cup sugar, cream of tartar, and vinegar.
4
Add the other 1 1/4 cups of sugar, again very slowly, and vanilla. Beat for ⏱️ 10 minutes on medium speed.
5
To prepare the piping bag, snip a corner off a large zippered plastic bag or pastry bag. Place a large decorating tip into the corner opening (I use a Wilton 1M). Spoon half of the meringue into the bag and twist the top closed.
6
Starting in the center of each circle and moving in a circular pattern outward, fill each circle with meringue. Continue piping around the outside edges, forming walls (I usually go around 2 or 3 more times, depending on how tall I want my tortes). Use your finger to smooth out the top where the piping tops. Repeat with remaining meringue until all 12 tortes have been formed.
7
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. Serve with fresh berries and whipped cream and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
