Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- Chocolate chips or fruit preserves for filling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine egg whites and cream of tartar. Use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites on medium speed until they become frothy.
- Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture on high speed. This should take about 5-6 minutes. Keep beating until glossy stiff peaks form.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and salt, and beat for an additional minute to combine.
- Using a piping bag or a spoon, dollop or pipe small mounds of meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
- If desired, use the back of a spoon to create a small indentation in the center of each mound to hold your filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meringues are dry to the touch and easily lift off the parchment without sticking.
- Turn off the oven and allow the meringues to cool completely with the oven door ajar.
- Once cooled, you can fill the centers with chocolate chips or fruit preserves, if desired.
Enjoy these Meringue Teasers with family or friends, or keep them all to yourself. They are a fabulous treat that showcases the wonderful texture and delightful flavor of meringue. Happy baking!
