Strawberry Mini Meringue

Strawberry mini meringue are delightfully light and fruity. A crispy outer layer is supported by a marshmallow middle. These are made with freeze dried strawerries that have been crushed into a coarse powder that give of a outburst of a juicey strawberry hit. This is dish is suitable as a addition to a dessert that you are serving on a special occasion, such as a birthday or when you out to impress as they go well with tea or coffee.

Ingredients:

2 eggs

75 grams of sugar

1 teaspoon of white vinegar/ or cream of tartar

10 grams of freeze dried strawberries


Method:

Preheat your oven to 140°C and measure your greaseproof paper to your baking tray.

In large non-metallic bowl (which I wipe with lemon to ensure there are no impurities) whisk your egg whites until they form soft peaks.

Now gradually add your sugar a bit at a time, you should now be able to see the egg mixture turn gloss and form stiff peaks, this is when you add your vinegar/cream of tartar and fold it in.

Now that the meringue mixture has form you have come to the point where you add your freeze dried fruit and gently fold it in.

Using either a spoon or a piping bag create your desired design, which needs to be the size of a golf ball onto the baking paper. You may sprinkle some crushed strawberries on the top of the meringues.

Bake for 40 minutes.

I hope you enjoy these beautiful little gems,
