Tips:

  • Use a clean, grease-free bowl and beaters when whipping the egg whites. Any trace of fat can prevent the egg whites from whipping up properly.
  • Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing the speed as the egg whites become foamy. This will help to prevent the egg whites from becoming overbeaten.
  • Add the sugar gradually, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whip the egg whites. This will help to prevent the egg whites from becoming grainy.
  • Once the egg whites are stiff and glossy, fold in the espresso powder and chocolate chips. Be careful not to overmix, as this can cause the egg whites to deflate.
  • Drop the meringue mixture by rounded tablespoons onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Leave at least 2 inches of space between each meringue.
  • Bake the meringues at a low temperature (200-250°F) for 1-2 hours, or until they are dry and crisp.
  • Store the meringues in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Espresso chip meringues are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are light and airy, with a delicate flavor of espresso and chocolate. Whether you are serving them at a party or enjoying them as a snack, these meringues are sure to be a hit.
