HOT COCOA MERINGUES
Like the frothy topping on a cup of cocoa, these swirled chocolate meringue cookies are light, airy and-of course-dotted with marshmallows. For those who didn't grow up with meringues as a holiday cookie tray staple, it's a great time to get familiar with this delicate cookie. As alternative diets and gluten sensitivities become more prevalent, it's important to bake at least some cookies that'll make all your guests feel jolly, no matter how they eat! Like all meringues, this cookie does not use any flour, so it's gluten free. But we firmly believe that this cookie is much more about what is included than what isn't. Mixing Hershey's™ Special Dark™ cocoa in to part of the batter not only delivers rich chocolate taste (quite an accomplishment for a cookie that's so airy) but it also makes a beautiful swirl that makes them eye-catching. These cookies are perfect for bakers who want to expand their baking skills. Be sure to read the recipe all the way through before you start-a good idea for any cookie-so that you're set up to succeed!

CINNAMON COCOA MERINGUES WITH VANILLA ICE CREAM AND CINNAMON CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Yield Serves 2
Number Of Ingredients 14
Steps:
- Make the sauce:
- In a small heavy saucepan combine the cream and the brown sugar, bring the mixture to a boil over moderately high heat, whisking occasionally, and boil it, whisking, until the brown sugar is dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat, add the chocolates, and whisk the mixture until they are melted. Whisk in the butter and the cinnamon, whisking until the sauce is smooth, and let the sauce cool slightly. The sauce may be made 1 week in advance and kept covered and chilled. Reheat the sauce over very low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is warm. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
- Make the meringues:
- In a bowl with an electric mixer beat the egg whites until they are foamy, add the cream of tartar, and beat the whites until they hold soft peaks. Add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating, and beat the meringue until it holds stiff peaks. Sift the cocoa powder and the cinnamon over the meringue and fold them in gently but thoroughly. Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tip and pipe it into 5-inch rounds on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake the meringues in the middle of a preheated 250°F. oven for 1 1/2 hours and let them cool on the sheets. The meringues may be made 10 days in advance and kept, separated with sheets of wax paper, in an airtight container. Arrange 1 meringue on each of 2 plates and top each meringue with a scoop of the ice cream and some of the cinnamon chocolate sauce.
Tips:
- Use fresh egg whites for the best results. Older egg whites will not whip up as well and your meringues may not be as fluffy.
- Make sure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of any grease. Any residue 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 start to foam. This will help to prevent the egg whites from becoming grainy.
- Add the sugar slowly, a little at a time, while continuing to whip the egg whites. This will help to prevent the egg whites from becoming too stiff and dry.
- Once the egg whites are stiff and glossy, stop whipping. Over-whipping can cause the egg whites to become dry and brittle.
- Use a piping bag or spoon to drop the meringue mixture onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Make sure to leave enough space between the meringues so that they don't stick together.
- Bake the meringues at a low temperature (200°F or 93°C) for a long time (1-2 hours). This will help to dry out the meringues and prevent them from becoming too brown.
- Once the meringues are baked, turn off the oven and leave the meringues in the oven to cool completely. This will help to prevent the meringues from cracking.
Conclusion:
Hot cocoa meringues are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are light and fluffy, with a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior. The cocoa powder adds a rich and chocolatey flavor that makes these meringues irresistible. Whether you enjoy them on their own or use them to top a cup of hot cocoa, these meringues are sure to be a hit.
