Instructions
Step 1
In a saucepan, combine 80 milliliters of water with 220 grams of sugar, 8 grams of agar-agar, 200 grams of cherry puree, and 50 grams of glucose or sugar. Stir the mixture well.
Heat the mixture over medium heat while continually stirring until it reaches a temperature of 104 degrees Celsius (or 219 degrees Fahrenheit).
Step 2
In a clean mixing bowl, add 60 grams of egg whites, 1/3 teaspoon of citric acid, and a pinch of salt. Begin to whip the egg whites until they become frothy.
Gradually add in 50 grams of sugar while whisking until you reach stiff peaks.
Step 3
Once your syrup mixture has reached 104 degrees Celsius, carefully pour the hot syrup into the whipped meringue while continuing to whip.
Continue whisking until the mixture becomes thick and glossy, forming firm peaks.
Step 4
Using a piping bag fitted with a star tip, pipe the marshmallow mixture onto parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Allow the marshmallows to sit and dry for 2 to 3 hours at room temperature before serving.

Equipment
Using different sizes can help you manage various components of the recipe. A large bowl is great for mixing the syrup, while a medium-sized one works well for the meringue.
A hand whisk can work, but an electric mixer will save you time and effort to achieve those sturdy peaks necessary for the perfect meringue.
A sturdy saucepan is essential for heating your sugar syrup correctly. Use a pot that distributes heat evenly for best results.

Faq
- What is agar-agar and why do I need it?
Agar-agar is a vegetarian gelatin alternative made from seaweed. It helps achieve that beautiful chewy texture in your Cherry Meringue, giving it a unique mouthfeel!
- How can I tell when my syrup has reached the right temperature?
Using a kitchen thermometer is the best way to ensure accuracy. Cooking the syrup until it reaches 104°C is vital for the perfect consistency.
- Can I use a different fruit puree instead of cherry?
Absolutely! You can easily substitute with others like raspberry, strawberry, or even mango for a fruity twist!
- How long can I store the Cherry Meringues?
In an airtight container, they can usually last for a week. Just make sure they are completely dried before storing to maintain their texture.
- What happens if my meringue doesn’t hold its shape?
If your meringue is too soft, make sure your syrup was at the correct temperature when you added it. Proper whipping technique also plays a crucial role!
- Can I add color to my Cherry Meringues?
Yes! A few drops of natural food coloring can be added while mixing the puree for an eye-catching treat!
