Ingredients

  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/3 cup superfine (caster) sugar*
  • 3/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Place egg whites and cream of tartar in a clean, dry bowl of a stand mixer and beat until foamy. Add sugar and almond extract beat until meringues hold soft peaks, about 3 minutes. Fold in chocolate gently until just incorporated. Using a pastry bag or a sealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off, pipe meringue by the tablespoon onto cookie sheets. Bake for 40 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool completely before removing from parchment paper. Transfer to an airtight container.

*You can make your own superfine sugar by placing sugar in a food processor and processing on high for 30 to 45 seconds.

    Fantastic! Light, crisp, full of flavor and such a sweet treat without all of the guilt. I did substitute vanilla extract for the almond and reduced the sugar to 1/4 cup. They tasted amazing and looked beautiful! New family favorite!!!

    deliciously chocolatey and lightly sweet treat! followed the recipe and didn't deviate. the chocolate and almond are perfectly balanced. light and airy. crunchy. absolutely terrific. thank u ellie!

    btw- i used a handheld beater. i beat my egg whites to semi stiff peaks. this means that when i removed the whisk, the peaks remained stable and did not immediately flop over. this occurred because i did not stop beating it until the liquid was incorporated.
