Ingredients

  • 4 egg whites
  • 1 cup caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 2 tablespoon cocoa
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 130C fan-forced and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Place the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until soft peaks form.
  • Mix the sugar and cream of tartar together then with the mixer running, add one tablespoon of the mixture at a time to the egg whites mixing well between each addition.
  • When all the sugar has been added turn the speed up to medium and beat for a further few minutes until the mixture is thick and glossy.
  • Test if it's ready for baking by rubbing a little of the batter between your fingers. If it's smooth, it's ready, if not, keep beating until it is smooth.
  • Cake the bowl off the stand.
  • Mix the cocoa and cinnamon together and then sift over the meringue.
  • Carefully fold it through to create a chocolate swirl.
  • Spoon heaped tablespoons of mixture onto the lined baking tray.
  • Put the tray in the oven and turn the temperature down to 100C fan-forced.
  • Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Open the oven just a little and leave the meringues to cool completely in the oven. It will take at least 3 hours.
  • Store in an airtight container.
