Delight your senses with these chocolate-infused meringues accompanied by luscious Nutella whipped cream. A perfect blend of crispy and creamy indulgence!

Ingredients: 4 large egg whites. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder. 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted. 1 cup heavy cream. 1/4 cup Nutella. 1 tablespoon powdered sugar. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Instructions: Warm the oven up to 200F 95C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet. Slowly beat the egg whites in a dry, clean bowl until soft peaks form. Add the granulated sugar slowly, one tablespoon at a time, while beating the egg whites all the time. Beat until peaks form that are stiff and shiny. Add the vanilla extract slowly while folding. Pour the melted chocolate over the meringue and then sprinkle the cocoa powder on top of it. To make a swirl pattern, gently fold a few times. Drop spoonfuls of the meringue onto the baking sheet that has been prepared to make meringues. The meringues should be baked in a hot oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the outside is crisp and the parchment paper is easy to remove. Leave them in the oven for a while to cool down. Whip the heavy cream in a bowl that has been chilled until soft peaks form. Together with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, add the Nutella to the whipped cream. Again, whip until everything is well mixed and stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe the Nutella whipped cream on the meringues once they are completely cool. Put the chocolate swirl meringues on a plate and top them with walnut whipped cream.
