Ingredients
  

For the Meringue
  • 3 large Egg Whites Can be aged for better consistency.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cream of Tartar Stabilizes egg whites.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Avoid substitutions as honey changes texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste Vanilla extract can be used in small amounts.
For Decorating
  • 4 ounces Dark Chocolate Can substitute with food coloring or edible markers.

Equipment

  • Stand mixer
  • Baking Sheet
  • Piping Bag

Method
 

Meringue Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Whisk the egg whites and cream of tartar in a stand mixer on medium speed until frothy and bubbly.
  3. Gradually add granulated sugar while increasing the mixer speed to medium-high, whipping until soft peaks form.
  4. Incorporate vanilla bean paste and beat the mixture until it reaches stiff peaks.
  5. Transfer the meringue to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.
  6. Pipe mounds of meringue onto the lined baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch space between each blob.
  7. Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside to dry for another 1-2 hours.
  8. Cool completely to room temperature and decorate with melted dark chocolate.
