A recipe from Pink chocolate meringues to enjoy at tea time! We love their pretty flower shape, very easy to make. For more deliciousness, after cooking I added a dose of melted dark chocolate...
These meringues are very easy to make, it is a French meringue very simple. You don't need a kitchen thermometer for this recipe.
What ingredients for these easy meringues?
You will only need 6 ingredients for this recipe (I can say 5 if you do not add food coloring).
Egg whites : we want them at room temperature, it’s ideal for meringues.
Granulated sugar : this is refined white sugar, the most suitable for making a meringue. The quantity can be adjusted to your taste.
Salt, vanilla : these are the flavor enhancers for this recipe.
Pink coloring : it is optional but it gives a very nice color. Use natural pink dye.
Dark chocolate pastry : it is used melted to dip cooked meringues in.
How to make pink meringues?
To make these pink meringues, we beat the whisked egg whites then gradually add the powdered sugar. Once the meringue is formed, we finish with the vanilla, the salt and the pink coloring.
Cooking should be done at low temperature : this allows the meringues not to brown or crack. I recommend leaving them in the oven off to cool down slowly.
Then we melt chocolate to soak the meringues. You will have to wait for the chocolate to cool to eat them!

- 3 Egg whites at room temperature
- 130 g granulated sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 0,5 cc natural vanilla extract
- Natural pink coloring
- 100 g dark chocolate pastry
- Preheat the oven to 100 ° traditional heat.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff (food processor or mixer), medium speed. Gradually increase speed, whisk for about 3 minutes. Sparkling peaks should form easily when you remove the whisk.
- While continuing to whisk at medium speed, add the sugar little by little using a tablespoon. Whisk another 3 minutes at high speed until a shiny meringue is formed (and you no longer feel the grains of sugar to the touch). Decreasing the speed (low), add the vanilla, a pinch of salt and the pink food coloring (optional).
- Fill a pastry bag fitted with a fluted tip. On a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, arrange small roses. To do this, start from the center, and make a circle outwards, as if to draw a snail. Roses form themselves!
- Bake for about 1h30: they should be dry to the touch. If possible, leave to cool in the oven with the oven switched off for several hours (this will prevent them from cracking).
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave or double boiler. Dip the bottom of the meringues in the melted chocolate and dry on baking paper. Wait for the chocolate to cool before tasting ...

Hello, I just tried to make rose-shaped meringues but I think my egg whites must have been too soft!!! :-(
Hello, I would like to know if the oven door should be ajar? Because I was told that we should ajar the door. But since it is not indicated in your recipe I doubt it lol
Thank you in advance
Hello Anissa, my recipe does not require you to keep the oven door open. Cooking is carried out at low temperature. @ soon!
Hello, I would like to make this recipe for Sunday.
How far in advance can I make them and how do I store them so they stay crispy until the big day?
Hello, I recommend making them the day before, keeping them in an airtight box. @ soon
