Chocolate Meringues
Ingredients
- 4 Egg Whites
- 200 g Caster Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 40 g Dark Chocolate
- 1 teaspoon Balsamic Vinegar
Method
- Heat the oven to 180°C. Chop the chocolate and put aside for later. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks.
- Whisk in the sugar a spoonful at a time. The meringue should be stiff and shiny.
- Fold in the cocoa powder, chopped chocolate and balsamic vinegar.
- Put blobs onto the baking sheet. Alternatively, you can put it on the sheet into one large meringue (for a pavlova, for example).
- Put in the oven and immediately turn it down to 150°C.
- After one and a quarter hours, turn the oven off and leave the meringues in there until the oven is cold.
