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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a clean, grease-free bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites and salt on medium speed until they become frothy.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Fold in the vanilla extract and chocolate chips or chopped chocolate, making sure they are evenly distributed.
Step 6
Using two spoons, drop small dollops of meringue (about 1-2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Once cooled, store the meringues in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
