2 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Dash of salt
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup cacao nibs (such as Scharffen Berger)

1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules

8 teaspoons chocolate syrup
2 teaspoons cacao nibs

1
Preheat oven to 300u00b0.
2
To prepare meringues, cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Draw 8 (4-inch) circles on paper. Turn paper over; secure with masking tape.
3
Combine egg whites and cream of tartar in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed until soft peaks form. Add salt. Gradually add granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Add 2 tablespoons cocoa, 1/2 teaspoon coffee, and vanilla; beat well. Fold in 1/4 cup cacao nibs. Divide batter evenly among 8 circles on prepared baking sheet; spread to fill circles using the back of a spoon.
4
Bake at 300u00b0 for 35 minutes. Turn oven off; cool meringues in closed oven 1 hour. Carefully remove meringues from paper. Cool completely on a wire rack. (Store in an airtight container for up to a week).
5
To prepare filling, combine 3 tablespoons cocoa, 3 tablespoons boiling water, and 1/2 teaspoon coffee granules in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Cool. Combine powdered sugar and cream cheese in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer until smooth. Add cocoa mixture; beat well. Fold in whipped topping. Spoon 1/4 cup filling into center of each meringue; drizzle 1 teaspoon chocolate syrup over each filled meringue. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon cacao nibs over each serving.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
