Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Cream of tartar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 100 grams Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large, clean, and grease-free mixing bowl, add the egg whites and salt.
Using a stand mixer or handheld mixer, whisk the egg whites on medium speed until frothy.
Add the cream of tartar and continue whisking until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while the mixer is running on medium-high speed.
Continue whipping the mixture until stiff, glossy peaks form and the sugar is fully dissolved. This may take 7-8 minutes.
Gently fold in the vanilla extract and mini chocolate chips using a silicone spatula. Be careful not to deflate the meringue.
Using a piping bag fitted with a round or star tip, or simply a spoon, dollop small mounds of the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each one.
Bake the meringues in the preheated oven for 90 minutes. Do not open the oven door during baking.
After 90 minutes, turn off the oven and allow the meringues to cool completely inside the oven to ensure they stay crisp.
Once cooled, transfer the meringues to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately.
