Chocolate Meringues

These chocolate meringues are actually cookie sandwiches. Elegant, sweet, delicious.

  • 4 egg whites
  • 1 cup (215g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence

Chocolate Filling

  • 3 ounces (75g) plain chocolate
  • 3 tablespoons (40ml) water
  • 1/4 teaspoon instant coffee
  • 8 ounces (300ml) double cream lightly whipped

 

 

METHOD

Preheat oven to 275°F (140°C).

Whisk egg whites until stiff but not dry. Whisk in half the sugar, and then fold in the remainder with the vanilla essence.

Put spoonasful of meringue on baking sheets lined with non-stick silicone paper. Bake in preheated 275° (140° C or mark 1) oven for one and a half hours. Do not let color. Leave meringues to cool in the oven.

This amount of mixture will make about 20 meringues, about 2 1/2 - 3 inches or 7 cm wide.

Chocolate filling: Melt chocolate, water and coffee together. Set aside to cool, and then stir into the cream. Beat the ingredients together until thickened.

When the meringues are cold, arrange in pairs and fill with the cream mixture. Sprinkle with icing sugar to serve.

Yield: Ten large and tasty chocolate meringues
