Servings: 5 large meringues
Calories: 275kcal
Equipment
- 1x large baking sheet pan
Ingredients
- 100 grams egg whites
- 200 grams castor sugar
- 2 teaspoon white grape vinegar
- 50 grams milk chocolate
- 50 grams hazlenuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 100°C (212°F) fan forced. Line one large baking tray with greaseproof paper.
- Place the egg whites into a bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat at low speed until bubbles start forming then increase the speed to medium speed. Beat until soft peaks form.
- Add the castor sugar to the egg whites one tablespoon at a time, with the mixer running at medium-low speed. Continue until all of the sugar has been added.
- Add the vinegar to the meringue mixture and increase the speed of the mixer to medium-high speed, beat for 10 minutes until stiff peaks form and the meringue looks glossy.
- Toast the nuts in a pan set over medium heat until slightly golden, chop the nuts. Add the chopped chocolate to a heatproof bowl and melt it in the microwave at increments of 30 seconds, stirring often. Fold through the melted chocolate and nuts to the meringue batter using a rubber spatula.
- Use a large metal or wooden spoon to scoop dollops of meringue onto the prepared oven tray, making 5 meringues. Bake the meringues in a preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the bottom of the meringues lifts easily off the parchment paper. Switch off the oven and leave the meringues to cool in the oven overnight. Enjoy!
