Coffee Cones

Gluten free, dairy free, and caffeinated. These coffee Cones may be the perfect dessert! So here is my coffee meringue again after a failed attempt. I would like to thank my dear friends who gave valuable suggestions.

This is a great recipe creating gorgeous coffee flavored cones that are how they should be, crisp on the outside and soft like a marshmallow on the inside.

Ingredients

3 Egg Whites

175g Caster Sugar

1 Tablespoon of Freshly Ground Coffee

1 Tsp - Vanilla Essence

Tools:

Electric Mixer

Piping Bag and Nozzle

Preheat oven to 160°C. Line 2 baking trays with non-stick baking paper.

Beat the egg whites in a large bowl until soft peaks form and mixture is almost all white and bubbly.

Sift the icing sugar and the instant coffee into the egg whites.

Gradually add in the sugar while beating.

Beat for 2-3 minutes until stiff peaks form. Mixture should hold position.

Spoon the meringue mixture into a piping bag fitted with a round 1.5cm-diameter nozzle. Pipe 2cm-round cones, about 2cm apart, on to the lined trays.

Bake in oven for 30 minutes until crisp. Turn oven off.
Leave cones in the oven, with door ajar, for 1 hour to cool completely.
