Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 0.75 cup Splenda granulated sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Cream of tartar
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
In a clean, dry mixing bowl, add the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt. Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
Increase the mixer speed to high and gradually add the granulated Splenda, one tablespoon at a time. Continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form and the mixture feels smooth when rubbed between your fingers. This step will take another 4-5 minutes.
Fold in the vanilla extract gently using a rubber spatula to preserve the fluffy structure of the meringue.
Using a spoon or a piping bag fitted with a star or round tip, drop or pipe small dollops of meringue onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them roughly an inch apart.
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 90 minutes. Avoid opening the oven door during this process to ensure the meringues remain crisp.
After 90 minutes, turn off the oven and allow the meringues to cool completely inside the oven for an additional hour. This helps them dry out fully and achieve their signature crisp texture.
Once cooled, carefully remove the meringues from the baking sheets and store them in an airtight container at room temperature. These meringues can be enjoyed on their own or used to top desserts like parfaits or sundaes.
