Chocolate Marbled Meringue Kisses Recipe
2 oz. unsweetened chocolate
2 large egg whites, at room temperature
1/8 t. cream of tartar
1/2 C. superfine sugar
1/2 t. vanilla extract
1 1/2 t. cornstarch
Preheat oven to 200� F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum
foil. Melt the chocolate.
In a clean, grease-free bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on medium
speed until frothy. Add the cream of tartar. Continue to beat on medium high
speed until the mixture whitens and soft peaks form. Slowly add the sugar, 1 or
2 tablespoons at a time, waiting at least 10 seconds between additions,
gradually increasing the speed to high. Add the vanilla and beat for another 3
minutes to form a stiff, shiny meringue. Sift the cornstarch over the meringue
and gently fold in, using a rubber spatula.
Transfer the meringue to a bowl. Using a rubber spatula, heavily drizzle
parallel lines of the melted chocolate over the surface of the meringue. (Resist
the urge to marble-that will happen as you scoop and drop.) Using a 1-inch
diameter ice cream scoop or a teaspoon scrape across the surface of the mixture,
crosswise to the drizzled lines, to get a rounded mound of striped meringue.
(Use a second spoon to push the mound onto the prepared baking sheet.) Continue
scooping until you need to drizzle more chocolate, dropping the meringues about
1 1/2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Continue to drizzle chocolate and scoop
until the meringue is used up. You may not use all the chocolate.
Bake for 1 hour, then turn off oven and leave the meringues inside to dry until
oven is completely cool. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
