Ingredients

  • 0.3 teaspoon almond extract 
  • ounces bittersweet chocolate finely chopped
  • 0.3 teaspoon cream of tartar 
  • large egg whites 
  • 0.3 teaspoon salt 
  • 0.5 cup semi chocolate chips 
  • 0.5 cup sugar 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • baking paper
  • oven
  • wire rack
  • blender
  • microwave

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 20
  2. To prepare meringues, cover a baking sheet with parchment paper; secure to baking sheet with masking tape.
  3. Beat egg whites with a mixer at high speed until foamy.
  4. Add cream of tartar and salt; beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form (do not overbeat). Gently fold in almond extract and chopped chocolate. Drop batter by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake at 200 for 2 hours or until dry. (Meringues are done when the surface is dry and meringues can be removed from paper without sticking to fingers.) Turn oven off; leave meringues in oven 1 hour or until cool and crisp.
  6. Remove from oven; carefully remove meringues from paper. Cool completely on wire rack.
  7. To prepare glaze, place semisweet chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at MEDIUM (50% power) 30 seconds or until melted, stirring until smooth. Dip half of each meringue in chocolate.
  8. Place on wire rack to dry. Store in an airtight container.
