3. For the meringue, using an electric mixer beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar 1 tbs at a time, beating constantly until meringue is thick and glossy.

Half fill some tart cases with chocolate and top with meringue and bake 180°C fan forced oven for 5 minutes until light golden. Half fill some tart cases with chocolate and top with raspberries and almonds.
