Vanilla, chocolate, and coffee meringues in chocolate glaze

Ingredients

Egg white - 3 pieces
Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
Cream of tartar - a pinch
Sugar - ¾ cup
Instant coffee - 1½ teaspoons
Cocoa Powder - 2 tablespoons
70% Dark Chocolate - 3.5 oz
Vegetable Oil - 1 tablespoon

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 203°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Using a mixer, beat 1 egg white with vanilla, a pinch of cream of tartar, and a pinch of salt. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and beat well again. Then add another 2 tablespoons of sugar.

Step 3

Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and pipe meringues in the shape of stars onto the baking sheet.

Step 4

For the coffee meringues, repeat the process, but instead of vanilla, add instant coffee.

Step 5

For the chocolate meringues, mix cocoa with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Beat the remaining egg whites with a pinch of cream of tartar and salt until stiff peaks form. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, beat well, then incorporate the chocolate mixture. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and pipe in the shape of stars.

Step 6

Bake the meringues for 1.5 to 2 hours until crispy and dry. Then turn off the oven and leave the baking sheet inside for another hour. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet.

Step 7

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and mix with vegetable oil. Dip the bottoms of the meringues in the chocolate and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place in the freezer for 3 minutes until the chocolate sets.
