Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Gluten-Free Chocolate Meringues.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a gentle 275°F (135°C) and prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Next, take a fine grater and lovingly shred the dark chocolate, placing it into a mixing bowl that will soon hold a delightful concoction.
Step 3
In a separate clean bowl—glass, metal, or ceramic—whip the egg whites until they reach stiff peaks, resembling fluffy clouds.
Step 4
Gradually incorporate the white sugar and vanilla sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture is harmoniously blended.
Step 5
Sift the cocoa powder over the grated chocolate, then gently fold this rich blend into the airy egg whites with a spatula, taking care to preserve that precious volume.
Step 6
With two teaspoons, scoop small mounds of this luscious chocolate mixture onto your prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart to allow for expansion.
Step 7
Slide the sheets into your preheated oven and let the meringues bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until they are dry to the touch and have a slightly darker hue on the bottom.
Step 8
Once baked, let the meringues rest on the sheets for 1 to 2 minutes before delicately transferring them to a wire rack, where they will cool completely in about 5 minutes.
Step 9
Enjoy the sweet anticipation as the aroma fills your kitchen, promising a delightful treat ahead.
