Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Cream of tartar
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a clean, large mixing bowl, add the egg whites and a pinch of salt. Using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy.
Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites and continue beating on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the sugar one tablespoon at a time while beating on high speed. Make sure each addition is fully dissolved before adding the next. Beat until stiff, glossy peaks form. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
Gently fold in the vanilla extract and mini chocolate chips using a spatula, taking care not to deflate the meringue.
Using a spoon or a piping bag fitted with a large star tip, place dollops or swirls of meringue onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes, or until the meringues are completely dry to the touch and can easily lift off the parchment paper.
Turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside with the oven door slightly ajar to cool completely for about 1-2 hours. This helps prevent cracking.
Once cooled, transfer the meringues to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Serve and enjoy your light and crispy Chippy Meringues!
