work in process, attempting to recreate incredible, dark, gooey chocolate-walnut meringues from bistro aix. feedback requested! Notes: Be sure that nothing that contains fat (other than the nuts) comes in contact with the egg whites. They will collapse into a gooey mess if they do-so do NOT grease the baking sheet and make sure none of the egg yolk gets into the egg white mix. Ingredients:
7 ounces egg whites (approx 5 xl eggs) |
1 lb confectioners' sugar |
1 cup cocoa (i usually use 1.5+ cups) |
walnuts (etc) or almonds (etc) |
1/2 cup chocolate chips (to taste, usually use approx 1/2 c) |
Directions:
1. beat egg whites in metal or glass bowl on high until stiff peaks form.
2. fold in sugar and cocoa slowly.
3. add nuts or chocolate chips.
4. place on non-stick baking sheet in 2 T clumps and bake at 220F for 1-3 hours (haven't figured out perfect time or temp yet-suggestions welcome!).
