Meringue Mosaic Dessert Pizza
small text
large text

Ingredients
6 egg whites
6 ounces of sugar—get cup measure
1 1/4 cups fat free hot fudge
5 cups sliced strawberries or other berries, or to taste
1 cup (aerosol) fat free whipped topping, optional

Preheat the oven to 175 degrees. Cut a sheet of parchment paper to fit a 14-inch, non-stick pizza pan. Place it in the pan.

Add the egg whites to a clean, dry, (preferably chilled), metal bowl. Using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs until frothy. Add sugar gradually and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Spread the meringue evenly over the parchment, but leaving a little extra around the outer perimeter to resemble traditional pizza crust after it's baked.

Bake the meringue for 5 1/2 to 6 hours until completely firm. Let the meringue rest for half an hour before carefully taking it out of the pizza tray and placing it on a flat serving platter.

Spoon the hot fudge into a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in 30 second intervals in the microwave until warm. Using a pastry brush, brush all but about 2 tablespoons evenly over the meringue "crust" leaving the outer edge bare to resemble a pizza.

Place the berries, sliced or whole, over the top—you can do this in concentric circles, or get creative and place them to form an appealing design. Drizzle with the remaining hot fudge.

Break or cut the pizza into "mosaic" type (odd-sized) pieces and serve immediately.

Devin Says:
This pizza is really fun for a crowd. The meringue breaks apart easily and allows you to have a few bites or a larger piece.

If you can't find fat free hot fudge at your local grocery store, try ordering it online.
