Ingredients
- 3 egg whites
- 170 g sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 EL lemon juice
- 100 g dark chocolate (min. 55% cocoa)
- 1 TL cocoa powder
Instructions
-
1.
Beat the egg whites with the lemon juice until foamy, gradually adding the sugar and continuing to beat until the mixture is glossy white and forms stiff peaks. Fill a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe about 50 stars onto a sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
2.
Place the sheet in the oven (middle rack) and bake at 120 °C fan-forced for about 45–50 minutes (dry more than bake), leaving a small gap in the door. The meringues should remain slightly soft inside and develop minimal color during baking.
-
3.
Remove and cool. Melt the chocolate over a double boiler and use a spoon to attach two meringue stars together with chocolate. Let dry and lightly dust with cocoa powder.
