MOCHA MERINGUES



Mocha Meringues image

Light little cookies with a hint of coffee. It won't kill you to make them without cream of tartar. I made these on Christmas Eve, realized I had no cream of tartar, wasn't going to go out and get any (are you crazy?), did without and had a hit. Although it's probably better if you have some.

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 teaspoons instant coffee
4 egg whites, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Take your eggs out of the fridge and allow them to come to room temperature.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup blanched slivered almonds, divided
1 teaspoon sugar, plus 1/4 cup
4 egg whites
Pinch salt
1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
  • Put 1/4 cup blanched almonds and 1 teaspoon sugar into a food processor and pulse until it resembles cornmeal; reserve. Finely chop the remaining almonds.
  • In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites and salt until very soft peaks have formed. In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and espresso powder. With the mixer running on low, slowly add in the sugar and the espresso powder, 1 tablespoon at a time, whipping just to the stiff peak stage, (do not overbeat). Gently fold in the reserved almond flour.
  • With a large offset spatula, spread the meringue batter on the lined baking sheet in an even layer, about 1/2-inch thick. Sprinkle the finely chopped almonds and chocolate chips evenly over the surface of the meringue and bake for 1 hour. Turn the oven off, leaving the meringue in the oven to dry out further and cool for an additional 1 hour.
  • Note: If meringue gets chewy, put it back into a 200 degree F oven for about 30 minutes, turn off the oven and let dry inside the oven while it cools.
  • To serve, break the meringue into pieces. Leftover meringues can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature in a dry cool place for up to 3 days.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups superfine sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
6 large egg whites, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
Espresso Ice Cream

MOCHA MERINGUE



Mocha Meringue image

Categories     Dairy     Egg     Dessert     Bake     Low Fat     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large egg whites
1 teaspoon (generous) instant espresso powder
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup sugar
1 pint chocolate frozen yogurt, softened
Cocoa powder
Instant espresso powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Trace six 3-inch circles on each paper.
  • Using electric mixer, beat first 3 ingredients to soft peaks. Gradually add sugar and beat to stiff glossy peaks. Transfer whites to pastry bag fitted with 1/4-inch plain tip. Beginning in the center of each circle, pipe concentric circles to fill traced circle. Bake until meringues are dry, about 2 hours.(Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Store in oven.)
  • Gently spread 1/4 cup yogurt evenly on 6 meringues. Top with remaining meringues. Freeze until firm.
  • Place cocoa and espresso in sieve. Lightly sprinkle over tops of meringue and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment to whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will help create a light and fluffy meringue.
  • Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites while continuing to whip. This will help prevent the meringue from becoming grainy.
  • Fold in the cocoa powder and instant coffee granules until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can cause the meringue to deflate.
  • Pipe the meringue into 12 even mounds onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. You can use a pastry bag fitted with a star tip or simply spoon the meringue onto the baking sheet.
  • Bake the meringues in a preheated oven at 225 degrees F for 1 hour, or until they are dry and crisp.
  • Once the meringues are cool, fill them with your favorite fillings, such as whipped cream, chocolate mousse, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

Mocha meringue cups are a delicious and elegant treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be filled with a variety of fillings to suit your taste. With their light and fluffy texture and rich mocha flavor, these meringues are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
