 Chocolate Meringue Kisses


Chocolate Meringue Kisses

Chocolate Meringue Kisses are light, airy, and sweet treats with a subtle chocolate flavor. They are perfect as a snack, a topping for desserts, or a charming gift for special occasions.

Ingredients (Makes 50-60 small kisses):

  • 3 large egg whites, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 50g dark or semi-sweet chocolate, melted (optional, for drizzling or dipping)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

  2. Prepare the Meringue:

    • In a clean, grease-free mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
    • Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat. Increase the speed to high and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form and the sugar is completely dissolved (rub a bit of the meringue between your fingers to check for granules).
    • Gently fold in the sifted cocoa powder and vanilla extract using a spatula, taking care not to deflate the meringue.

  3. Pipe the Kisses:

    • Transfer the meringue mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star or round tip. Pipe small kisses or dollops onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

  4. Bake:

    • Bake the meringues in the preheated oven for 1.5-2 hours, or until they are completely dry and crisp. Turn off the oven and let the meringues cool inside with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour. This prevents cracking.

  5. Decorate (Optional):

    • If desired, drizzle the cooled meringue kisses with melted chocolate or dip the bottoms in chocolate and let them set on parchment paper.

  6. Serve or Store:

    • Store the meringue kisses in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Tips and Variations:

  • Add-ins: Fold in mini chocolate chips or finely chopped nuts for extra texture.
  • Swirled Kisses: Use a toothpick to swirl a little melted chocolate into the piped meringue for a marbled effect before baking.
  • Flavored Variations: Add a few drops of peppermint, almond, or orange extract for a different flavor profile.
