PISTACHIO-CHOCOLATE MERINGUES



Pistachio-Chocolate Meringues image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield About 30 meringues

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons raw pistachios
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 large egg whites, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350˚. Spread 3/4 cup pistachios on a baking sheet and bake on the lower oven rack until toasted, about 8 minutes. Let cool completely, then pulse in a food processor until finely chopped.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Spread the granulated sugar on one of the prepared pans and bake on the lower oven rack until very hot but not melting, about 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 225˚.
  • Meanwhile, combine the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. About 30 seconds before the sugar comes out of the oven, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the hot sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, using the parchment paper as a funnel. Increase the mixer speed to high and beat, scraping down the bowl as needed, until stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the vanilla and beat until the meringue is fluffy, about 30 seconds.
  • Reline the baking sheet that you used for the sugar with parchment paper. Gently fold the chopped pistachios and chocolate into the meringue with a rubber spatula until just combined. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round tip. Pipe the meringue into 1 3/4-inch-wide mounds (about 1 1/2 inches tall) about 1 inch apart onto the prepared pans. Very finely chop the remaining 2 tablespoons pistachios, then sprinkle on the meringues.
  • Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the meringues are firm to the touch and lift easily off the parchment, 40 to 50 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the meringues sit in the oven for 10 minutes, then remove the meringues to racks to cool completely.

MINT CHOCOLATE-CHIP MERINGUES



Mint Chocolate-Chip Meringues image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h2m

Yield 90 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup egg whites (from about 4 eggs)
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon mint extract or mint flavoring (not mint oil)
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped or grated
2 ounces semisweet chocolate
Additional equipment: A pastry bag fitted with a large plain or star tip, 2 cookie sheets, well greased, or lined with parchment paper, or lined with nonstick baking mats, or 2 nonstick cookies sheets.

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Heat the egg whites and sugar in the top of a double boiler set over barely simmering water until warm to the touch (this will help you get more air into the whites when you whip them). Transfer to a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and whip until soft peaks form. Add the mint extract and continue whipping just until stiff and glossy. Fold in the chopped unsweetened chocolate.
  • Scrape the mixture into a pastry bag. Pipe bite-size kisses onto the cookie sheets and bake until the meringues are the color of milky coffee, 25 to 30 minutes. To test, remove one meringue from the oven, let cool one minute, then taste. It should be dry and crisp all the way through. Let cool on the pans.
  • Melt the semisweet chocolate. Dipping the tines of a fork into the chocolate, drizzle the meringues with melted chocolate. Let sit until chocolate is set, 30 minutes to an hour (or let set in the refrigerator for 15 minutes).
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using an electric mixer, whip egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, continuing until stiff peaks form. Remove bowl from mixer.
  • Melt the chocolate in a microwave oven or a double boiler. With a rubber spatula, gently fold the melted chocolate and half the coconut into the bowl of egg whites. Fold in the remaining coconut.
  • Drop heaping tablespoons of the batter onto baking sheets lined with lightly greased parchment paper. Bake about 12 minutes, or until meringues are firm. Turn oven off, but leave cookies in oven with door ajar 15 minutes longer.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest egg whites possible. Older egg whites will not whip up as stiffly and may result in a meringue that is not as light and airy.
  • Make sure the bowl and beaters you are using are completely clean and free of any grease. Any residue can prevent the egg whites from whipping up properly.
  • Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing the speed as the whites begin to foam. This will help to prevent the whites from over-whipping and becoming dry and brittle.
  • Add the granulated sugar slowly, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whip the egg whites. This will help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing and will result in a smooth and glossy meringue.
  • Once the meringue has reached stiff peaks, stop whipping immediately. Over-whipping will cause the meringue to become dry and crumbly.
  • Use the meringue immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

Chocolate meringues are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed on their own or used to top pies, cakes, and other desserts. They are also a great way to use up leftover egg whites. With a little care and attention, you can easily make perfect chocolate meringues at home.
