Espresso Meringue Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Combine egg whites, espresso, vanilla extract, and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat until egg whites begin to form soft peaks, about 2 minutes. Slowly mix in sugar and stevia powder. Continue to beat until meringue becomes glossy and stiff peaks form.
• Gently fold cocoa powder, cacao nibs, and coffee grounds into the meringue. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops start to turn golden and crispy, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites and salt on medium-low speed until frothy, about 1 minute. With the machine on medium-high speed, gradually add the sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time. Add the cream of tartar, vanilla extract and espresso powder. Increase the speed to high and beat until the mixture is thick and holds stiff peaks, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a spatula, fold in the chocolate chips.
• Drop 1/4 to 1/2 cupfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 30 minutes. Rotate the pan and bake for another 30 minutes. Turn off the oven and allow the meringues to cool while still in the oven, about 2 hours.
• Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Store in bags or an airtight container up to 4 days.
