Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Electric Mixer
  • Piping Bag
  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the egg whites in a clean mixing bowl and add the cream of tartar. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  • Gradually add the sugar while beating on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks develop. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  • Transfer the meringue to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe eight ghost shapes onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
  • Bake for 90 minutes, then turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside to cool completely without opening the door.
  • Combine the dark chocolate chips and heavy cream in a small bowl. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
  • Spread or pipe a thin layer of the chocolate mixture onto the flat side of four cooled meringue ghosts. Top each with a second ghost to form a sandwich.

Notes

Let the meringues cool fully inside the turned-off oven to prevent cracking. If the chocolate filling firms up too much before assembly, warm it gently for a few seconds. Store assembled sandwiches in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one day to keep the shells crisp.
