Ingredients

• 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 80 grams All-purpose flour
• 15 grams Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 Egg whites
• 100 grams Powdered sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Cream of tartar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a muffin tin with 8 paper liners.

Step 2

In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar and eggs until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg-sugar mixture until well combined.

Step 5

Sift in the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder, and gently fold until the batter is smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 8 prepared muffin liners, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the tops are set but still slightly soft in the center.

Step 7

While the fudge cups cool slightly, make the meringue topping. In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites with cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form.

Step 8

Gradually add the powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whisk until the meringue is glossy and stiff peaks form.

Step 9

Spoon or pipe the meringue onto the slightly cooled fudge cups, creating a decorative swirl on top of each.

Step 10

Place the fudge cups back in the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden.

Step 11

Remove the cups from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the tin before serving. Enjoy the layers of rich fudge and airy meringue!
