Chocolate Chip Espresso Meringues

• 3 large egg whites, at room temperature
• 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 cup superfine sugar
• 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (scant 1/2 cup)
• Kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons espresso powder

1. Preheat the oven to 225.
2. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar at low speed until foamy, about 30 seconds.
4. Increase the speed to medium and beat in the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time; beat until the whites are stiff and glossy, about 1 minute.
5. Fold in the chopped chocolate and a pinch of salt.
6. Sift the cocoa powder and espresso powder over the meringue and fold 2 or 3 times to incorporate; the meringue should look marbled.
7. Spoon eight 1/2-cup mounds of meringue onto the prepared baking sheet.
8. Using the back of a spoon, gently spread the meringues into 3-inch rounds.
9. Bake for 1 hour, or until the meringues are firm on the outside but still chewy in the center.
10. Let cool completely.
