One of the most interesting desserts of modern times is meringue. This sugar product established itself in the confectionery art at the beginning of the XX century. Since then, an incredible number of desserts, cookies and cakes made of meringue have been revealed.
For the first time, this sugar product was created in France. Baked egg whites were not appreciated at first. The simple ingredients did not inspire confidence in this product. But, after time, people realized how many budget-friendly and delicious desserts can be made from meringue.
Thus, the sugar product became relevant again 3 centuries after it was first mentioned. There is a story that meringue turned out because of the greed of the Marquis. The man took away from the cook almost all the products for cooking cakes. Therefore, he had to experiment with eggs and sugar.
Now we do not experience difficulties with products, but we will still try to make delicious cookies only from meringue and nuts.
Meringue cookies ingredients:
- egg whites – 70 g;
- chocolate – 50 g
- sugar – 150 g
- nuts – 50 g;
- vanilla – a pinch.
Preparation of meringue cookies:
Pour vanilla into the egg whites, using a mixer beat the mixture to a white liquid mass. Gradually add granulated sugar to the mixture, one tablespoon at each stage of beating.
After all the sugar has been added to the egg whites, beat the mixture until it becomes creamy and stiff peaks form. Chop the nuts and chocolate in a blender until fine crumbs
. Integrate the chocolate and nuts into the creamy protein mixture, mixing thoroughly with a spatula.
Cover the baking tray with parchment and use a tablespoon to transfer the cookie portions to the surface.
Bake the cookies at 180 degrees for about 20 minutes.
As a result, the dessert turns out hard on the outside and creamy inside. The meringue retains its texture while creating a creamy chocolate filling in the cavity with a fleck of nuts.
