Meringue Nests With Strawberries Recipe
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 6 x egg whites
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 c. sugar plus more for berries
- 4 c. (2 c.) sliced fresh strawberries Heat the oven to 250 degrees.
Directions
- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt and cream of tartar till soft peaks form. Add in the vanilla. Add in the 1 1/2 c. sugar a few Tbsp. at a time, beating after each addition till stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment. Scoop 3/4 c. of the egg white mix and drop it onto the paper into a mound 3 inches in diameter.
- With the back of a spoon, shape a shallow well in the center. Repeat to use the remaining meringue.
- Bake the meringues for 1 hour. Turn off the heat and let them cold in the oven at least 2 hrs - overnight if possible.
- Slip the meringues into a paper bag in a single layer, fold the top over, and store them in a dry place till ready to use, up to three or possibly four days.
- In a medium bowl, combine the strawberries with 2 Tbsp. sugar. With the back of a spoon, mash some of the strawberries; taste and add in more sugar if you like.
- To serve, place the meringues on individual dessert plates and spoon some of the strawberries and their juice over each.
