Chocolate Mint Meringues
Report
One of my favorite flavor combinations ever: Chocolate Mint! Meringue cookies are so easy to make, and so versatile too!

Ingredients
- 4 egg room temperature, large, whites
- 1 Tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¾ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 green food coloring gel, drop
- 6 ounce dark chocolate wafers melted
Instructions
- In a clean, dry mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites for 30 seconds until frothy.
- Add in vinegar and cornstarch, whisk with electric mixer for 1 minute. While beating, slowly add the sugar in a steady stream. Add peppermint extract and food coloring.
- Beat for 4 minutes on high until stiff peaks form.
- Spoon into a large pastry bag with tip, pipe on parchment paper lined baking sheets.
- Bake in a 200 degree oven for 80 minutes. Turn oven off and allow meringues to set 4 hours or overnight.
- Once set, dip into melted chocolate and return to parchment paper to set. ENJOY.
Notes
- Bake them at a low temperature for a long time. I usually do 200 degrees for 80 minutes.
- Use parchment paper! Easy to clean up, and mine never get browned bottoms.
- Once done baking, turn oven off and let them set in the oven for hours. I usually make them in the evening, then let them sit in the oven overnight.
- Don't bake on a humid day. Don't store them when it's humid in your house.
- Add your food coloring before beating to stiff peaks. It helps distribute it more evenly. I also find gel food coloring works better than liquid.
- Use a pastry bag and tip for swirls and roses. Or use a spoon and drop by tablespoon onto parchment paper. You decide.
- Use Ghirardelli melting wafers for dipping your meringues. It sets up quick and doesn't change the texture of your meringue.
