Chocolate Wizard

List of ingredients:

2 large egg whites.
1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar.
2/3 cup of sugar.
1/4 teaspoon of almond extract.
1 cup (6 oz) of semisweet chocolate, finely chopped.

Method:

In a large bowl, using a mixer on high speed, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until thick and foamy. Gradually add the sugar and keep beating until the mixture holds stiff, shiny peaks.

Using a spatula, gently stir in the almond extract and chopped chocolate. Spoon half-tablespoon portions into 1-inch wide mounds about 1-inch apart onto cooking parchment lined baking sheets.

Bake meringues in a 275F oven for about 30-35 minutes.

Allow to cool for 5 minutes on sheets, then slide a spatula underneath meringues and transfer to racks to finish cooling.
