Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 0.75 cups Granular erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups Mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered erythritol
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the granular erythritol to the egg whites while continuing to beat, one tablespoon at a time, until stiff, glossy peaks form, around 5-7 minutes.
Gently fold in the vanilla extract into the meringue mixture.
Using a spoon, drop dollops of meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small nests or rounds.
Bake the meringue in the preheated oven for 90 minutes or until they are firm and dry on the outside.
Turn off the oven and allow the meringues to cool inside with the door slightly ajar for at least an hour to ensure they're completely dry.
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered erythritol until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to overbeat.
Wash and gently pat dry the berries; hull and slice strawberries if using.
Once the meringue has cooled, gently break it into bite-sized pieces.
In a large serving bowl or individual dessert glasses, layer the broken meringue pieces, whipped cream, and mixed berries.
Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a dollop of whipped cream and a few berries on top.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving.
