Ingredients

• 4 large Egg whites
• 180 grams Erythritol
• 0.5 teaspoon Cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large, clean mixing bowl, add the egg whites.

Step 3

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on medium speed until frothy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the cream of tartar and salt, then increase the mixer speed to medium-high.

Step 5

Gradually add the erythritol, one tablespoon at a time, ensuring it fully dissolves before adding the next spoonful. This may take about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Continue to beat the mixture until soft peaks form, then add the vanilla extract.

Step 7

Beat until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 5 more minutes. You should be able to pull the whisk out of the mixture and see a peak that holds its shape.

Step 8

Transfer the meringue mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip or simply use a spoon to drop dollops onto the prepared baking sheets.

Step 9

Pipe or spoon out 1.5-inch mounds of meringue onto the parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them about an inch apart.

Step 10

Bake the meringues in the preheated oven for 1.5 hours, then turn off the oven and let them cool completely in the oven for at least another hour to avoid cracks.

Step 11

Carefully remove the cooled meringues from the parchment and store in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
