Ingredients
- 3 large egg whites
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 200˚. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in large bowl with mixer on medium speed until frothy. Add sugar; increase mixer speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip (you can also take a big plastic bag and cut a corner off). Pipe 8 to 10 swirls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until dry, 1hr to 1hr 15min. Transfer the baking sheet to a rack and let cool completely.
- Put the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave until melted, about 1 minute, stirring halfway. Transfer the melted chocolate to a plastic bag and snip a small part of a corner. Pipe the chocolate on the meringues to look like eyes and a mouth.
I loved this recipe because the meringues were very light and had a nice crunch to them. I would give them an 8 out of 10.
