Instructions

Step 1

Meringue Preparation:

Beat the egg whites until they form a beer-like foam.
Mix the dry ingredients together and gradually add them to the egg white mixture.
Whip until stiff peaks form.
Place the mixture onto good parchment paper.
Bake in the oven with top and bottom heat at 90°C (195°F) for 1 hour and 40 minutes.
Turn off the oven and let the meringue cool inside.

Step 2

Assembling the Filling:

Beat the butter until smooth.
Add the boiled condensed milk and mix until well combined.

Step 3

Storage:

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It's absolutely delicious!

Servings

When it comes to serving these delightful meringue pastries, the possibilities are endless! 🎉

Pretty Platters: Arrange the meringues on a decorative platter with a dusting of powdered sugar for a festive look. 🍽️

Berry Bliss: Serve with fresh berries or a drizzle of berry coulis to add a pop of color and extra flavor! 🍓

Layer Love: Turn your meringues into pavlovas by adding layers of whipped cream and fruit between two meringue discs. 🍰

Tea Time: These meringues pair perfectly with a cup of hot tea or coffee. 🫖

Equipment

Electric Mixer

A good electric mixer is vital for beating the egg whites to stiff peaks. 💪 If you're using a handheld mixer, ensure it's powerful enough to get the job done.

Variations

Want a gluten-free or vegan option? We’ve got you covered! 😋

Gluten-Free: The recipe is naturally gluten-free, but double-check all components to ensure no cross-contamination—especially your vanilla extract.

Vegan Meringue (Aquafaba Meringue): Replace the egg whites with aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas). Whip it just like you would with the egg whites, substituting citric acid with a dash of cream of tartar. Use vegan butter for the filling, and opt for a sweetened condensed coconut milk. 🌱

Faq

  • Why aren't my egg whites whipping properly?

    Make sure your bowls and beaters are completely clean and free from grease. A tiny bit of yolk or oil can affect the results.

  • Can I store meringue pastries at room temperature?

    It's best to store them in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain their texture and freshness.

  • How do I know when my meringue is at stiff peaks?

    The peaks should stand straight up when you lift the beaters out of the mixture. They should be smooth and glossy.

  • Can I add flavors to my meringue?

    Yes! Always use natural flavor extracts and add them sparingly to avoid altering the consistency.

  • How can I prevent my meringues from cracking?

    Let them cool slowly in the oven after turning it off. Sudden temperature changes can cause cracks.

  • Is it possible to make the meringue ahead of time?

    Absolutely! The meringue can be made up to 2 days in advance. Just store it properly in an airtight container.
