Meringue Nests
Light, airy, and delicately sweet, these meringue nests are a classic treat that’s both versatile and beautiful. Originally popularized as a foundation for pavlova, these nests can be filled with whipped cream, lemon curd, or fresh berries. Their crunchy exterior and soft, melt-in-your-mouth interior make them irresistible. Customize them to your liking – whether mini-sized or grand, they always make for an elegant dessert!
4 large egg whites
½ tsp cream of tartar (or 1 tsp lemon juice/white wine vinegar)
1 cup caster sugar
½ tsp pure vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 200°F (90°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whisk egg whites until foamy, then add cream of tartar. Beat until soft peaks form.
3. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Add vanilla extract.
4. Pipe or spoon nests onto the baking sheet and bake for 2-3 hours.
