Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 100 grams Dark chocolate
- 50 grams Pistachios
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 120°C (250°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a clean, grease-free mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whisk the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Step 3
Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whisk. After all the sugar has been added, increase the speed to high and whisk until the meringue is stiff, glossy, and smooth. This may take 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Gently fold in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt with a spatula.
Step 5
Chop the dark chocolate into small chunks and roughly chop the pistachios, reserving a few for garnishing.
Step 6
Carefully fold the chocolate chunks and the majority of the pistachios into the meringue mixture, being careful not to deflate the meringue.
Step 7
Using a spoon or piping bag, dollop or pipe the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle the reserved chopped pistachios on top for garnish.
Step 8
Bake the meringues in the preheated oven for 90 minutes, switching the baking sheets between the racks halfway through. The meringues should be crisp on the outside but still slightly chewy in the center.
Step 9
Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside with the oven door slightly ajar to cool completely. This will help prevent cracking.
Step 10
Store the meringues in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
