Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 100 grams Granulated sugar substitute (like erythritol or stevia blend)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Cream of tartar
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a clean, dry mixing bowl, add the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt.
Step 3
Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Step 4
Gradually add the granulated sugar substitute, 1 tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites. Increase the speed to high.
Step 5
Beat the mixture until stiff, glossy peaks form and the sugar substitute is fully dissolved. This may take about 4-6 minutes.
Step 6
Gently fold in the vanilla extract until incorporated, being careful not to deflate the meringue.
Step 7
Transfer the meringue to a piping bag fitted with a star or round tip, or use two spoons to dollop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, making small mounds or rosettes.
Step 8
Bake the meringues in the preheated oven for 90 minutes. Do not open the oven during baking, as it may cause the meringues to collapse.
Step 9
Turn off the oven and let the meringues cool inside the oven with the door slightly ajar for at least 1 hour. This step ensures they dry out completely.
Step 10
Once cooled, carefully remove the meringues from the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
