Ideal for dessert platters or alongside coffee, these meringues are as beautiful as they are delicious.

Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat the oven

Preheat oven to 225°F (110°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2
Prepare the egg whites

In a clean, dry bowl, add egg whites and salt. Make sure there is no yolk or grease in the bowl.

3
Begin whipping

Start beating egg whites on medium speed until foamy.

4
Add sugar gradually

While continuing to beat, add sugar one tablespoon at a time. Allow each addition to incorporate before adding more.

5
Beat to stiff peaks

Increase speed to high. Beat until stiff, glossy peaks form (about 5-7 minutes). Add vanilla extract and beat just to combine.

6
Melt the chocolate

Break chocolate into small pieces. Melt in a microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each. Allow to cool slightly but remain fluid.

7
Create chocolate swirls

Drizzle melted chocolate over meringue. Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl chocolate through meringue. Don't overmix - you want visible streaks.

8
Form the meringues

Spoon or pipe meringue onto prepared baking sheets. Make 24 mounds, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

9
Bake the meringues

Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Meringues should be dry to the touch and easily lift off the parchment.

10
Cool completely

Turn off oven. Leave meringues in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 30 minutes. Remove and cool completely on a wire rack.

11
Store properly

Store in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 1 week.

12
Serve

Serve as is or with fresh berries or whipped cream if desired.
