Directions
Heat oven to 275. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or brown paper. In small bowl combine egg whites and salt. Beat until foamy. Gradually add sugar and vanilla, beating until stiff peaks form. Sift 1 tbs. cocoa over egg whites and fold into mixture. Using ¼ cup of meringue, drop 6 individual mounds onto paper-lined cookie sheet. Spread each into 4" circles with a deep well in the center (forming cups). Bake at 275 degrees for 45 minutes or until dry. Turn oven off and leave in closed oven for 1 hour. Remove from oven and cool completely. Just before serving, combine all filling ingredients except orange segments in food processor. Process until smooth. Spoon mixture evenly into meringues. Top with orange segments. Drizzle with warm hot fudge topping if desired.
