Meringue Kisses by @shortstackkitchen

Yields40 ServingsPrep Time20 minsCook Time2 hrsTotal Time2 hrs 20 mins

MERINGUE
 3 Large Egg Whites, room temp
 ¼ tsp Cream of Tartar
 ¾ cup Fine White Sugar
CHOCOLATE
 5 oz Chocolate
 1 tsp Colavita Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1

Set oven to 200F. Line 2 Large baking sheets with parchment paper. Then, fit a large piping bag with a French star tip or tip of choice.

2

Using a hand or stand-mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until frothy. About 2 to 3 minutes.

3

With the mixer still running on medium speed, add fine sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Allow the sugar to fully incorporate before adding the next tablespoon, about 20 to 30 seconds in between. Beat until the mixture is shiny with stiff peaks.

4

Add tiny dollops of meringue to all four corners of your baking sheets and place parchment paper on top to secure it down.

5

Pipe meringue kisses, 1-inch in diameter onto the trays, leaving a small gap between each one.

6

Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until they are no longer sticky to the touch and can easily peel off of the baking sheet.

7

Turn the oven off, and without opening the door, keep meringues inside to cool for 2 to 3 hours.

8

Once meringues are completely cooled, finely chop the chocolate and transfer to a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a small pot simmering water and melt until smooth. Carefully transfer the bowl onto your counter and stir in extra-virgin olive oil and allow to cool for a few minutes.

9

Dip each meringue cookie in the chocolate and place on a piece of parchment paper to set at room temperature.
