Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until foamy.
- Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
- Mix in the vanilla extract gently.
- Using a piping bag or spoon, drop meringue onto the prepared baking sheet in desired shapes.
- Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meringues are dry and can easily lift off the parchment paper.
