Instructions
Creating Sweet Chocolate Meringue Treats is easier than you might imagine. Just follow these steps for perfect results:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 225°F (110°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Egg Whites: In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy.
3. Add Cream of Tartar: Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
4. Gradually Add Sugar: Slowly add the granulated sugar, a tablespoon at a time, beating on high speed until the mixture is glossy and stiff peaks form (approximately 5-7 minutes).
5. Mix in Cocoa Powder: Gently fold in the cocoa powder and vanilla extract with a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
6. Add Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for a delightful surprise in every bite.
7. Scoop Meringue: Using a spoon or a piping bag, drop spoonfuls or pipe the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each treat.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until the meringues are dry to the touch and can be easily lifted from the parchment paper.
9. Cool Down: Once baked, turn off the oven and let the treats cool in the oven for about 30 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
