CHOCOLATE MERINGUE DROPS

Categories     Cookies     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 12-18 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 extra-large egg whites
1/2 cup granulated sugar
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, melted
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 generous cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. and place a rack in the lower third of the oven. Cover two heavy-duty baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, beat the egg whites, adding sugar slowly, until the whites are stiff but not dry. Using a rubber spatula, carefully stir the melted chocolate, vanilla extract and chopped nuts into the egg whites. Drop spoonfuls of batter, 1-1/2--2 Tbs. each, onto the parchment paper and bake until the tops are dry, 12-15 minutes. Do not overbake. Cool completely in the pan before removing with a spatula.

Tips:

  • Use the right chocolate: For the best flavor, use a high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate.
  • Make sure your eggs are at room temperature: This will help the egg whites whip up more easily.
  • Whip the egg whites gradually: Start on low speed and gradually increase the speed as the whites start to foam.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites: Overbeaten egg whites will be dry and crumbly.
  • Fold in the melted chocolate gently: Overmixing will deflate the egg whites.
  • Use a piping bag to shape the meringue: This will help you create uniform drops.
  • Bake the meringues at a low temperature: This will help them dry out without browning.
  • Let the meringues cool completely: This will help them set and become crispy.

Conclusion:

Chocolate meringue drops are a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can create perfect chocolate meringue drops that will impress your friends and family.
