Chocolate Meringue Swirls Recipes

CHOCOLATE SWIRL MERINGUE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F (121°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
• Melt the chocolate first so it can cool down before folding into the batter. You can melt the chocolate in a double boiler or the microwave. If using the microwave: place the chopped chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl. Melt in 20 second increments, stirring after each increment until completely melted and smooth. Set aside.
• In a completely clean residue-free large glass or metal mixing bowl, using a handheld mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt together on high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. With the mixer running on high speed, slowly add the sugar and beat until stiff glossy peaks form, about 2 more minutes. Do not over-beat.
• Gently fold in the chocolate. To maintain swirls, you don't want to completely mix it in. Don't worry if you don't use all 2 ounces- you can add some to the piping bag in the next step.
• Add an open star piping tip (I recommend Wilton 1M) to your piping bag (disposable or reusable). Drizzle any leftover chocolate along the inside of your piping bag (this is optional). Add the meringue batter. It won't all fit, so only use half to start.
• Pipe 1.5 inch swirls until you use up all the batter. See the video tutorial above if you need a visual. The cookies don't spread, so you can pipe them just 1-2 inches apart. Top each with sprinkles, if desired.
• Bake for 1 and 1/2 hours. (You can bake both baking sheets at once.) Do not open the oven as the meringues bake. Turn off the oven after 1.5 hours and let the meringues sit inside as the oven cools for 30 minutes or until the oven has cooled completely.
• Remove meringues from the oven and cool completely on the baking sheets. Once cool, use a flat spatula to remove the meringues from the baking sheets.
• Cover and store meringues at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

CHOCOLATE SWIRL MERINGUE COOKIES

Steps:

• Place egg whites in a stand mixer bowl fitted with a whisk and whip until stiff peaks hold and meringue does not slide out when bowl is turned upside.. Gradually add in both sugars and then vanilla and vinegar. Increase speed and whip until mixture is free of sugar grit when rubbed between two fingers and the meringue holds stiff and glossy peaks.
• Drizzle chocolate on top of meringue (DO NOT MIX IN). Spoon out and drop mixture onto parchment lined bake sheet.
• Repeat step 2 until all the chocolate and meringue is used
• Bake meringue for about 40-50 minutes or meringue easily peels away from parchment paper. Cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Optional: Serve with some Nutella.

MERINGUE SWIRLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Combine egg whites and sugar in a heatproof bowl. Add vanilla bean seeds. Set bowl over a pot of simmering water, and stir until sugar dissolves and mixture is warm, about 3 minutes. Add salt and cream of tartar.
• Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form and meringue is mostly cooled, about 7 minutes. Beat in zest.
• Using a small paintbrush, paint 3 vertical stripes of food coloring inside a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round tip (Ateco #805). Fill bag with meringue, and pipe 1 3/4-inch circular shapes (they don't need to be perfect rounds) 2 inches apart on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. As you finish piping each shape, apply less pressure to pastry bag, and swirl the tip off in a circular motion.
• Bake meringues until crisp on the outside but still soft inside, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

MERINGUE SWIRLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Beat the egg whites and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until frothy (use the whisk attachment if using a stand mixer). Add the cream of tartar; increase the speed to medium high and add the superfine sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the meringue (or add the extract) and continue beating until the sugar is dissolved and the meringue is thick, glossy and forms stiff peaks, about 6 minutes.
• Fit a piping bag with a large star tip. Fill the bag with the meringue and pipe spirals on the prepared baking sheets, about 1 inch apart. Sprinkle with the coarse sugar.
• Bake 1 hour, then turn off the oven and let the meringues stand in the oven until dry, about 2 hours. Store in an airtight container up to 1 week.

• Transfer hot meringue mixture into large pastry bag fitted with a large star tip (Ateco #6) or use a clean, dry tablespoon to form "kiss" dollops on prepared baking sheets(this is the one we opted for).
• Space the "kisses" 3/4" apart = 24 meringues on each baking sheet.
• If using pastry bag; pipe meringue onto prepared baking sheets forming rosettes, about 1-1/2" wide at base, and spacing them 3/4" apart on each baking sheet; approx 24 meringues on each sheet.
