Ingredients

  • 60 g Egg whites approx. whites of 2 eggs
  • 100 g Granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Cream of tartar optional
  • 1 teaspoon Corn starch optional
  • ½ teaspoon White vinegar optional
  • 30 g Chocolate dark
  • Black food colouring

Instructions

  • Make sure all the equipment are absolutely clean and dry, any small fat or even a tiny bit of egg yolk can ruin the meringue
  • Pre-heat oven to 90 C / 194°F, line baking tray with parchment paper. Make sure about your REAL oven temperature and use a Digital oven thermometer if you can
  • Stir egg white with sugar over double boiler on medium heat until sugar fully dissolves. This can take about 5 minutes
  • Once sugar dissolved remove the mixture from the double boiler and start whisking in a Stand mixer with cream of tartar (optional). Start on low speed and increase gradually
  • Whisk the meringue on high speed until it becomes glossy and achieve stiff peaks. The meringue is ready when it has shiny, stiff peaks, check it once every minute towards the end
  • Once the mixture ready immediately but gently fold in white vinegar (optional) and corn starch (optional) with the help of a Rubber spatula, be careful not to deflate the meringue
  • PIpe meringue onto parchment paper in different sizes
  • Bake for 90 min, do not open the oven door
  • When the meringue is baked, open the door slightly (1 cm) and let them cool down in the oven for at least an hour.
  • Melt chocolate and mix in black food coloring
  • Once meringue kisses cooled down decorate with a brush or toothpick
  • Meringue can get sticky and loses its firm shape in a warm or humid kitchen easily so store in cool, dry place.
