Ingredients

  • 3 large egg whites
  • ¾ cup superfine sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon extract (optional), I used hazelnut extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • This recipe makes two 9-inch wide, thin discs. Use a bowl or cake pan to trace circles on the backside of your parchment paper and place them on the sheet pans.
  • Beat the egg whites in the bowl of stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until satiny peaks form, then begin adding in sugar a spoonful at a time and continue to whisk until stiff, shiny peaks form.
  • Add the cocoa powder, red wine vinegar and optional extract. Gently fold these ingredients into the meringue until the cocoa is well incorporated.
  • Use a piping bag or a spatula to create even rings of meringue on the parchment.
  • Place the pans in the oven and immediately reduce the heat to 300 degrees F. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Allow to cool, then gently peel away the parchment.
