Time 3h40m

Yield 72

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 large egg whites, room temperature
1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
1 pinch salt
¾ cup sugar
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (60-70% cacao)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Line a large plate with waxed paper.
  • Beat egg whites, coffee granules, vanilla extract, cream of tartar, and salt with an electric mixer at high speed until soft peaks form, 3 to 5 minutes. Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating constantly, until stiff but still glossy peaks form, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Drop egg white mixture by rounded tablespoons 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet (alternately, fill a pastry bag fitted with a star tip with egg white mixture and pipe out 1- to 1 1/2-inch stars).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until kisses are firm and dry, about 2 hours. Cool on the baking sheet set on a wire rack for 1 hour.
  • Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  • Peel kisses from parchment paper. Dip the base of each kiss in melted chocolate and transfer to waxed paper-lined plate. Freeze kisses until chocolate hardens, 2 to 3 minutes.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

These were a bit too rich for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less butter next time.

I had some trouble getting the chocolate to melt smoothly. But other than that, these were easy to make and delicious.
