They’re crisp on the outside, chewy in the center, and infused with rich coffee flavor thanks to Javy’s coffee concentrate. Whether it’s Valentine’s Day, a housewarming, a weekend treat, or just a craving that won’t quit, these little bites always deliver.

How It’s Made In Three Steps
Step 1
Gather the three major ingredients and preheat oven to 225°F (105°C) and line a baking tray with parchment or foil.
- Egg whites
- Granulated sugar
- Javy coffee concentrate
Step 2
Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy bubbles form. Increase the speed to medium-high and gradually add the sugar one tablespoon at a time. The mixture will turn glossy and silky as it thickens. Once soft peaks form (see image below), add Javy coffee concentrate and continue beating until stiff peaks hold their shape.
Step 3
Transfer it to a piping bag or spoon onto the tray in neat dollops. Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and let them rest inside for another hour without opening the door. Let them cool fully before enjoying that first crisp‑chewy bite.
