ingredients

  • 4 large egg whites, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons black cocoa powder

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Draw an 8 inch circle on the parchment paper and then flip it over.

  • Step 2

    Mix egg whites, dark brown sugar, white sugar, and salt in a bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Whisk until sugars are dissolved. Remove from heat and add in vanilla. Continue to whisk until stiff peaks form.

  • Step 3

    Sift black cocoa powder over mixture. Gently fold together with rubber spatula or large spoon until no streaks of cocoa remain. Place mixture on 8 inch drawn circle. Spread out, using the circle as a guide, into an even round with a shallow well in the center.

  • Step 4

    Place sheet pan in the oven and bake until dry to the touch, about 1 hour. Remove from oven and cool, preferably on a wire rack. Once cooled, top with whipped cream and favorite fruit.
