- Ingredients 6
Ingredients
- 3 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 box (4-serving size) cherry-flavored gelatin (about 3 tablespoons)
- 1 bag (12 oz) white vanilla baking chips (2 cups)
Instructions
-
Step1In medium bowl, place egg whites; set aside until room temperature, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, line 2 large cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper or foil; set aside.
-
Step2Heat oven to 300°F. Beat egg whites, vinegar and salt with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar and gelatin until stiff peaks form, scraping bowl occasionally. Spoon half of the mixture into large decorating bag fitted with large star tip #824 (at least 1/2-inch opening). Pipe puffs about 1 inch wide and 1 inch high onto cookie sheets, about 1 inch apart. Repeat with remaining mixture.
-
Step3Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until dry but not brown. Turn off oven; let stand in oven 15 minutes.
-
Step4In small microwavable bowl, microwave 1 1/3 cups of the baking chips uncovered on High 45 to 60 seconds, stirring after 35 seconds, until melted and smooth. Peel cookies from paper or foil; dip bottoms into melted chocolate, and place on waxed paper. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
-
Step5Place remaining baking chips in small resealable freezer plastic bag. Microwave on High 45 to 50 seconds, turning bag over after 25 seconds. Squeeze bag until chips are melted and smooth. Cut small tip off one corner of bag, and drizzle over cooled puffs. Let stand until drizzle hardens, about 10 minutes.
