Instructions
TO PREPARE THE CHOCOLATE MERINGUES
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
Whip the egg whites and vanilla to soft peaks and gradually add the sugar slowly, whipping until the sugar is completely dissolved. Pinch the meringue between your fingertips to feel that all of the sugar granules have completely dissolved.
Sift together the corn starch and cocoa.
Sprinkle over the meringue mixture and fold in until completely incorporated along with the 1 tsp white vinegar.
This step helps a crisp crust to form on the meringue. Drop the meringue in two halves onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and spread it out into two 9 inch circles.
