CHOCOLATE MERINGUE KISSES - SOUTH BEACH DIET PHASE I image

Number Of Ingredients 9

paper, parchment
to line baking sheet
2 large egg white(s)
at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup(s) sugar substitute
2 tablespoon cocoa powder, unsweetened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 teaspoon whipped dessert topping, light

Steps:

Heat the oven to 250°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer at high speed, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form, about 5 minutes. Add the sugar substitute, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Do not underbeat. Whisk in the cocoa powder and vanilla until blended. Fit a large star nozzle onto a pastry bag. Fill the pastry bag with the meringue. Pipe 20 meringues onto the baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the meringues are crisp and dry. Turn the oven off and let them cool in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the baking sheet. Sandwich pairs of cooled meringues together with 1 teaspoon whipped topping to make a kiss.
