Chocolate hazelnut meringue kisses

Indulge your sweet tooth with these delightful Chocolate Hazelnut Meringue Kisses. Combining the rich flavors of dark chocolate and hazelnuts, these airy meringue treats are perfect for any occasion. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or simply looking to satisfy a craving, these meringue kisses are sure to impress.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup dark chocolate
120g
1/2 cup hazelnuts
60g
2 tbsp dry cocoa powder
30g
2 tbsp powdered sugar
30g
4 egg whites
130g
3/4 cup sugar
170g
1 tsp vinegar
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- Finely chop the dark chocolate and set aside.
- Toast the hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are lightly browned and fragrant. Allow them to cool, then finely chop.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cocoa powder and powdered sugar.
3. Beat the Egg Whites:
- In a large, clean, and dry mixing bowl, add the egg whites.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until they are frothy.
- Add the vinegar and continue to beat until soft peaks form.
4. Add Sugar:
- Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites.
- Beat the mixture until stiff and glossy peaks form. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
5. Fold in Dry Ingredients:
- Gently fold in the cocoa powder and powdered sugar mixture into the meringue until combined.
- Carefully fold in the chopped dark chocolate and hazelnuts.
6. Pipe the Meringue Kisses:
- Transfer the meringue mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a plastic zip-lock bag with the corner cut off.
- Pipe small mounds (about 1 inch in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 1 inch apart.
7. Bake:
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the meringues are firm to touch and easily lift off the parchment paper.
8. Cool:
- Turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside with the oven door slightly ajar to cool completely. This will help them dry out and become crisp.
9. Serve:
- Once completely cooled, remove the meringue kisses from the baking sheets and transfer them to an airtight container.
- Enjoy them as a delightful treat or share with friends and family!

Tips:

- Ensure that your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and dry before starting to prevent any fat or moisture from interfering with the egg whites.

- Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks for the perfect meringue texture.

- Fold the dry ingredients gently to retain as much air as possible in the meringue.

- Use a piping bag to create uniform and attractive meringue kisses.

- Bake meringues at a low temperature to ensure they dry out without browning too much.

- Let the meringues cool in the oven with the door slightly open to prevent cracks.

Enjoy your decadent Chocolate Hazelnut Meringue Kisses as a perfect sweet treat. Their crispy exterior and soft, chocolatey interior make them a delightful addition to any dessert table. Share them with friends and family, or indulge in a few yourself – you deserve it!
