Serves:  30

Ingredients:

  • 3 large egg whites, at room temperature
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons powdered cocoa
  • 3 tablespoons chocolate chips

Steps:

  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. 2. In a chilled bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg whites and cream of tarter until soft peaks form. Add the sugar gradually, about 1 tablespoons at a time. Continue beating and adding remaining sugar until all of the sugar is dissolved and the meringue is very shiny and tight, (stiff peaks).
