Ingredients

  • 4 egg whites, room temperature
  • ½ cup monk fruit/erythritol
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon cream or tartar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon coffee extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 225°F. In the clean and dry bowl of a stand mixer or mixing bowl, add the egg whites and beat until you get soft peaks.  Add in the cream of tartar and mix in the sweetener slowly, and continue beating until you have stiff peaks.
  2. Add in the vanilla and coffee extracts and slowly add the unsweetened cocoa powder.  Mix until well combined. Add the batter to a piping bag (or zip lock bag) or spoon them onto a baking sheet lined with a Silpat or parchment paper.
  3. Bake for 90 minutes or until firm. Leave in the oven for 30 minutes, with the oven turned off and they will be light and crispy.
  4. If you'd like to take them to the next level, melt about ½ cup of sugar-free semi sweet chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in the microwave for 1 minute or until melted.
  5. Dip half of each meringue into the chocolate, dripping off any excess. Place them on a cooling rack to allow the chocolate to set.
