Chocolate meringue
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Airy chocolate-flavored meringue is a perfect dessert for family tea time or gatherings with friends and colleagues. Meringue is easy and simple to make; the main thing is to have patience during the drying process. Remember that meringue should be baked for at least 1.5 hours at a temperature no higher than 80-90 degrees, preferably with convection. When serving, you can sprinkle the meringue with grated chocolate on top. The ready dessert can now be served.

Step 1
Prepare the listed ingredients. Carefully break the chilled chicken eggs, separating the whites from the yolks. Make sure no trace of yolk gets into the whites, as they won't whip properly otherwise. Also, dry the containers thoroughly before separating the eggs, as even a drop of water can prevent the egg whites from whipping perfectly.

Pour the egg whites into a dry mixer or food processor bowl, add salt, and beat for 2-3 minutes at the highest speed.

Step 5
Place the prepared protein mixture into a piping bag or a plastic bag and pipe onto a special baking mat or parchment paper lined on a baking sheet. Put the meringues in the oven for 1.5 hours. If your oven does not have convection, slightly leave the oven door ajar to prevent the meringues from turning brown during drying.

Step 6
After the specified time, the meringues will become denser. Remember, they will only become crisp after cooling, so remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the treats cool down. Then carefully peel the chocolate-covered meringues off the baking sheet and transfer them onto a plate. Sprinkle with the remaining grated chocolate and serve with hot beverages. Enjoy your meal!
