Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Instant coffee granules
- 250 milliliters Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Irish whiskey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 30 grams Dark chocolate (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a clean mixing bowl, add the egg whites and whisk using an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whisk. Increase the speed to high and whisk until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Gently fold in the instant coffee granules until evenly distributed throughout the meringue mixture.
Spoon or pipe the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet into 6–8 evenly sized nests, leaving a slight indentation in the center of each to hold the filling later.
Bake the meringues in the preheated oven for 90 minutes, or until they are crisp and easily lift off the parchment paper. Turn off the oven and let the meringues cool completely inside the oven with the door slightly ajar.
While the meringues are cooling, prepare the filling. In a cold mixing bowl, whisk the heavy cream, powdered sugar, Irish whiskey, and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form.
Once the meringues are cooled, spoon or pipe the whiskey-coffee cream into the center of each meringue nest.
Garnish with grated dark chocolate for a touch of elegance and added flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your decadent Irish Coffee Meringue!
