Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large egg whites
1 teaspoon (generous) instant espresso powder
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup sugar
1 pint chocolate frozen yogurt, softened
Cocoa powder
Instant espresso powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Trace six 3-inch circles on each paper.
  • Using electric mixer, beat first 3 ingredients to soft peaks. Gradually add sugar and beat to stiff glossy peaks. Transfer whites to pastry bag fitted with 1/4-inch plain tip. Beginning in the center of each circle, pipe concentric circles to fill traced circle. Bake until meringues are dry, about 2 hours.(Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Store in oven.)
  • Gently spread 1/4 cup yogurt evenly on 6 meringues. Top with remaining meringues. Freeze until firm.
  • Place cocoa and espresso in sieve. Lightly sprinkle over tops of meringue and serve immediately.
