Description

An all-original Daring Gourmet recipe! St. Paddy’s Mint Chocolate Meringues. Crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. A perfect treat for St. Patrick’s Day. These delicious, delicate, beautiful and decadent jewels will wow the crowd!

Ingredients

  • 4  Large Egg Whites
  • ½ teaspoons Cream Of Tartar
  • 1 cup Caster Sugar Or Granulated Sugar Ground In A Coffee Grinder
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ½ teaspoons Mint Extract
  • 3 drops Green Food Coloring Or As Needed To Reach Desired Color
  • 3 ounces, weight Semi-sweet Dark Chocolate

Preparation

Place the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer with the wire whisk attached. Beat on medium speed until foamy, then add the cream of tartar. Increase speed to medium high and and beat until soft peaks appear. While continuing to beat, add the sugar gradually in a stream. Continue beating until stiff peaks form. Add the vanilla extract, mint extract and green food coloring and beat just until combined.

Preheat the oven to 200 F.

Drop spoonfuls of the egg mixture (2 inches in diameter) onto either a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or a very lightly greased nonstick baking sheet. Bake for 2 hours then turn the oven off, leaving the baking sheet with the meringues in the oven to cool completely.

For the dipping chocolate, place the chocolate squares in the top of a double boiler over boiling water and melt completely.

Dip the bottoms of the cooled meringues in the chocolate, shaking off the excess, and place the meringues upside down on some waxed paper to dry completely.

This was easy, quick, delicious and gluten/dairy free – so it was also a great dessert for our girl with the allergies. Meringues are safe, but this was also pretty and yummy. A change up. Thanks!
