Best 5 Cinnamon Vanilla Bean Meringues Recipes

CINNAMON VANILLA BEAN MERINGUES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Combine egg whites, sugar and vanilla bean seeds in a heat-proof bowl (I used the metal bowl of my stand mixer). Set bowl over a pot of simmering water and stir until sugar dissolves and mixture is warm (not hot), about three minutes. Add salt, cream of tartar and cinnamon. Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form and meringue is mostly cool. This will take 5-7 minutes depending on your mixer. Fill a pastry bag (fitted with your tip of choice-or you can just cut the end off after filling) with the meringue. Pipe meringues into circular shapes about 1 3/4- to 2-inches in diameter on 2 parchement paper-lined baking sheets. Bake the meringues until crisp on the outside and still slightly soft on the inside, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.

CINNAMON CHOCOLATE MERINGUES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees.
• With an electric beater on low speed, whip the egg whites and vanilla until frothy. On a medium speed, add the cream of tartar and whip until they turn white and begin to stiffen. Slowly add the sugar, whipping constantly, until the whites are stiff and glossy.
• Sift the cocoa powder and cinnamon over the whites. Gently fold the cocoa and pecans into the egg whites.
• Drop heaping tablespoons of the batter, several inches apart, on parchment lined cookie sheets.
• Bake for 45 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave the cookies in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes with the door closed.
• Store the cooled meringues in an airtight container.

CINNAMON COCOA MERINGUES WITH VANILLA ICE CREAM AND CINNAMON CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the sauce:
• In a small heavy saucepan combine the cream and the brown sugar, bring the mixture to a boil over moderately high heat, whisking occasionally, and boil it, whisking, until the brown sugar is dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat, add the chocolates, and whisk the mixture until they are melted. Whisk in the butter and the cinnamon, whisking until the sauce is smooth, and let the sauce cool slightly. The sauce may be made 1 week in advance and kept covered and chilled. Reheat the sauce over very low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is warm. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
• Make the meringues:
• In a bowl with an electric mixer beat the egg whites until they are foamy, add the cream of tartar, and beat the whites until they hold soft peaks. Add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating, and beat the meringue until it holds stiff peaks. Sift the cocoa powder and the cinnamon over the meringue and fold them in gently but thoroughly. Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tip and pipe it into 5-inch rounds on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake the meringues in the middle of a preheated 250°F. oven for 1 1/2 hours and let them cool on the sheets. The meringues may be made 10 days in advance and kept, separated with sheets of wax paper, in an airtight container. Arrange 1 meringue on each of 2 plates and top each meringue with a scoop of the ice cream and some of the cinnamon chocolate sauce.
