Preparation
Step 1
Heat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Warm the Nutella in a microwave or in a small saucepan over low heat until just melted.
Place the egg whites and salt in a large bowl and whisk to soft peaks. At this point, start adding the sugar a few spoonfuls at a time and continue whisking until all of the sugar has been incorporated and the meringue is very thick. It should leave stiff peaks when the whisk is lifted from the meringue.
Drizzle in the Nutella and quickly and gently fold the Nutella into the meringue three or four times. You want to leave those lovely streaks in, so don’t over-mix.
Using two spoons, drop the meringue onto the parchment-lined baking sheets in large dollops and swirls
Place in the oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, immediately lower the heat to 200°F and rotate the trays. Bake for an hour.
After an hour, check the meringues. They should look and feel dry. If you see any shine or moisture on them, continue baking them for another 10 minutes. Shut off the oven and leave the meringues to cool with the oven for a few hours or overnight. When you remove them from the baking sheet, they should release easily from the parchment and sound dry when you tap them.
The meringues will keep in an airtight container for a week.
