Meringues with Cocoa Powder
Description
For this recipe, egg whites are whisked in a very clean bowl at medium-high speed until frothy. Caster sugar is gradually added while continuing to whisk until the mixture is glossy and forms stiff peaks. Spoonfuls of this mixture are placed evenly spaced on parchment-lined baking sheets.
The meringues are baked at 280°F for 50 minutes until firm, then left inside the turned-off oven for an additional hour without opening the door to dry completely. Once cooled, the meringues are lightly dusted with cocoa powder, which adds a subtle chocolate note and visual appeal.
The slow baking and resting process results in meringues that are crisp on the outside and tender inside. The cocoa powder complements the sweetness delicately without overpowering the egg white flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 egg white
- 7 ounces caster sugar
- cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven at 280F.
- Place the egg whites in a very clean mixing bowl. Whisk at medium-high speed until the whites begin to froth. Add the sugar one spoonful at the time while whisking at high speed. Egg white will become glossy and begin to form stiff peaks.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spoon the mixture on it at an even distance. Set in the middle of the oven and bake for 50 minutes. Then turn the oven off and leave the meringues in the oven, without opening the door for another hour.
- Place the meringues on a plate and dust with cocoa powder before serving.
