Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a clean, grease-free bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites and salt on medium speed until they become frothy.
Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat on high speed. Beat until the meringue forms stiff, glossy peaks. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
Sift the cocoa powder over the meringue and gently fold it in using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the meringue.
Fold in the vanilla extract and chocolate chips or chopped chocolate, making sure they are evenly distributed.
Using two spoons, drop small dollops of meringue (about 1-2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake the meringues in the preheated oven for 1.5 hours or until they are firm to the touch and can easily be removed from the parchment paper.
Turn off the oven and let the meringues cool completely inside with the door slightly ajar. This prevents cracking and helps them dry out fully.
Once cooled, store the meringues in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
