Ingredients
- 4 egg whites
- 1 cup superfine / caster sugar 200g
- 1 ¼ cup cornflakes lightly crushed (70g)
- 4 ounces dark chocolate chopped into small chunks, 100g
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
To decorate
- 4 ounces dark chocolate melted 100g
- sea salt optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F/150°C. Line a cookie sheet with baking paper.
- Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer or stand mixer, slowly adding the sugar, until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chunks, cornflakes and vanilla.
- Drop tablespoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced 1” apart.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the outside is crispy.
- Melt the remaining dark chocolates and drizzle or splatter over the cooled cookies, then sprinkle each one with a few flakes of sea salt.
Notes
- Room Temperature Magic: Let your egg whites come to room temperature before whipping. Warmer whites whip up better, creating a fluffier meringue.
- Gentle Folding: When incorporating the cornflakes, chocolate, and vanilla, use a gentle folding motion to preserve the airiness of the meringue.
- Precise Placement: Spoon the mixture onto the baking sheet with precision, leaving enough space between each meringue to allow for very slight expansion during baking.
- Patience Pays Off: The key to achieving that perfect crisp exterior is patience. Allow the meringues to cool completely before drizzling with chocolate and sprinkling sea salt.
