How to Make Guilt Free Chocolate Meringue Kisses

  1. Combine 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 ounce of unsweetened chocolate in a food processor. Pulse until finely ground.
  2. Add 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon cornstarch to the food processor.
  3. Pulse again until well combined and set aside.
  4. Beat 3 large egg whites in a large, clean, dry bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  5. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  6. In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add to the egg white mixture.
  7. Beat until the mixture is very stiff and glossy.
  8. Gently fold in the chocolate/cocoa mixture until evenly incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
  9. Transfer the meringue to a piping bag fitted with a 1-inch star tip.
  10. Pipe kisses onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
  11. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 14-18 minutes, or until the kisses are almost firm to the touch. Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking, using the top and bottom thirds of the oven for even baking.
  12. Let cool on the baking sheets for a couple of minutes.
  13. Carefully slide the meringue kisses off the parchment paper onto a wire rack to cool completely.
