Peanut Butter and Chocolate Meringues + Sea Salt
Peanut Butter and Chocolate Meringues + Sea Salt - A light and fluffy dessert with swirls of peanut butter and chocolate, sprinkled with sea salt, and an inside that is pillow-soft!
Ingredients
- 4 egg whites
- pinch cream of tartar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ - ½ cup peanut butter chips
- ¼ - ½ cup chocolate baking chips
- sea salt
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 250℉. Prep two cookie sheets covered with parchment.
- Beat Egg Whites: In a stand mixer, add 4 egg whites and a pinch cream of tartar. Beat on high for approximately 1 minute; whites will become very frothy and start to rise.
- Add Sugar: Keep motor running and gradually add ½ cup granulated sugar and then continue beating for approximately 5 minutes. Continue to keep the motor running and gradually add ¾ cup powdered sugar; continue beating for 8-10 minutes or until very stiff peaks form and mixture is glossy-looking.
- Melt Chocolate and Peanut Butter: While the mixer is going for 8 minutes, melt ¼ - ½ cup peanut butter chips and ¼ - ½ cup chocolate baking chips, in separate bowls. You want them melted, but not over hot.
- Baking Sheet: Move egg white mixture to a medium mixing bowl. Take large spoon or slightly rounded spatula and slowly and gently make a circular motion around the egg whites. Take large rounded scoops and place on cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. One at a time, add a pea-size drop of chocolate or peanut butter and swirl with a toothpick. Repeat with all of the meringues.
- Bake: Sprinkle with some sea salt. Place in the oven and drop the temperature down to 200℉. Let bake for 1 hour - 1 hour 20 minutes. Meringues should be firm to the touch and soft on the inside.
- Cool + Serve: Let cool slowly - just leave them on the cookie sheet for a bit. Then remove and let cool on a cooling rack. Enjoy or store in an airtight container for approximately 2-3 days.
