Categories     dessert

Time 4h15m

Yield 10 to 12 meringues

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 large egg whites, at room temperature
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
Pinch fine sea salt
3/4 cup superfine baker's sugar
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup sliced freeze-dried strawberries, coarsely chopped
Zest of 1/2 large lemon

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 200 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until the mixture holds soft peaks, about 1 minute. With the machine running on medium-high speed, add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Increase the speed to high and beat until the mixture is thick and holds stiff peaks, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the vanilla extract. Using a spatula, fold in the strawberries and lemon zest, taking care not to deflate the batter.
  • Using a 1/4-cup-size ice cream scoop, scoop heaped mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each about 2 inches apart. Bake for 2 hours. Turn off the oven and allow the meringues to cool completely while still in the oven, about 2 hours.
  • The meringues can be stored in an airtight plastic container for up to 4 days.

This recipe for strawberry meringue buttercream from "Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook" is the perfect frosting for White Cupcakes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes     Fillings & Frostings     Buttercream Frosting Recipes

Yield Makes 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 large egg whites
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into tablespoons
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups (12 ounces) strawberry jam, pureed in a food processor

Steps:

  • In the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer set over a saucepan of simmering water, combine egg whites and sugar. Cook, whisking constantly, until sugar has dissolved and mixture is warm to the touch (about 160 degrees).
  • Attach the bowl to the mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat the egg-white mixture on high speed until it holds stiff (but not dry) peaks. Continue beating until the mixture is fluffy and cooled, about 6 minutes.
  • Switch to the paddle attachment. With mixer on medium-low speed, add butter several tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition. (If frosting appears to separate after all the butter has been added, beat on medium-high speed until smooth again, 3 to 5 minutes more.) Beat in vanilla. Beat on lowest speed to eliminate any air bubbles, about 2 minutes. Stir in strawberry jam with a rubber spatula until frosting is smooth.

Crispy Meringue Cups with Berries and Sorbet image

Believe it or not, these elegant meringues are made in a microwave. Top them with your favorite macerated fruit and sorbet flavor for an easy dessert that's crunchy, juicy and refreshing all at the same time.

Provided by Zac Young

Categories     dessert

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups strawberries, tops trimmed, berries sliced
2 cups blueberries, blackberries or raspberries
2 tablespoons sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
1/8 teaspoon plus pinch fine sea salt
1 large egg white, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 lemon, zested
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 to 2 drops red gel food coloring
1 pint lemon sorbet

Steps:

  • Stir together the strawberries, blackberries, sugar, lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Set aside to macerate, stirring occasionally, while you make the meringue cups.
  • Whisk together the egg white, vanilla, remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and lemon zest in another medium bowl. Add the confectioners' sugar and stir with a rubber spatula until mostly combined, and then mix with your hands until a thick, firm dough forms.
  • Remove about 1/8 of the dough and place in another bowl. Add the red gel food coloring. Wearing gloves, knead the dough to swirl in the color until no streaks remain. Return the red dough to the bowl with the other dough and mix together until swirled throughout.
  • Transfer the dough to a cutting board and pat into a disk. Cut into 8 equal pieces (about 2 tablespoons each), and then roll each into a ball. Use a finger to poke a hole, about 1/2 inch across and 1/2 inch deep, into the center of each ball. If the ball starts to crack when poked, use your fingers to press it back together. Cover with a slightly damp kitchen towel so they don't dry out.
  • Line a microwave-safe round dinner plate with a paper towel. Place 1 ball in the center of the plate and microwave on the highest setting until the dough puffs into a crispy meringue about 5 inches across-it should be hollow when tapped, about 1 minute 30 seconds. Use an oven mitt or kitchen towel to remove the very hot plate from the microwave and transfer the paper towel with the meringue to a wire rack.
  • Line a second large microwave-safe round dinner plate with a new paper towel and repeat this process with the remaining pieces of dough, alternating between the two plates so that they have a little time to cool down after microwaving each meringue cup.
  • Let the meringues cool completely, then carefully peel away the paper towels.
  • Place each meringue cup on a serving plate and top each with about 1/2 cup of the macerated berries and a scoop of lemon sorbet. Drizzle with some of the juices from the fruit and serve immediately.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE MERINGUE NESTS RECIPE BY TASTY



Strawberry Shortcake Meringue Nests Recipe by Tasty image

These strawberry shortcake meringue nests make a perfect sweet ending to a summer gathering. They take a bit of time to bake but are well worth the wait. The strawberry sauce comes together in a snap, and you can use store-bought pound cake and whipped cream to save time.

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Desserts

Time 3h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup sugar, divided
4 large egg whites, room temperature
1 pinch kosher salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups strawberry, hulled and thinly sliced, plus 2 cups (300 G), hulled and quartered, divided
1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice
2 cups whipped cream, lightly sweetened
1 cup pound cake, cubed (1/2 in (1 1/4 cm) cubes)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Spread ¾ cup (150 G) of sugar on the baking sheet, then bake for 7 minutes to warm. Remove the sugar from the oven and leave the oven on.
  • In a large clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric hand mixer on low speed until foamy, then add the salt. While beating, add the warm sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, gradually increasing the mixer speed, until thick and shiny peaks form, 5-7 minutes. Add the vanilla and fold in until just incorporated.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Heap 10 equal scoops of meringue onto the baking sheets, spacing at least 1 inch (2 ½ cm) apart. Use the back of a spoon to create a divot in the center of each mound.
  • Bake for about 90 minutes, until the meringues lift cleanly off the parchment. Once done, turn off the oven and let the meringues cool in the oven for 2 hours, up to overnight. When removed from the oven, the meringues should sound hollow when tapped.
  • Meanwhile, make the strawberry puree: In a small saucepan, combine the thinly sliced strawberries, ¼ cup (50 G) sugar, and the lemon juice and let sit for 10 minutes to macerate, until some of the juices have released.
  • Transfer the pan to the stove and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, until the strawberries have slightly softened but are still vibrant red. Remove from heat and push through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds. Let cool. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • To serve, heap ¼ cup (60 ml) whipped cream onto each meringue nest. Top with 1 heaping tablespoon pound cake cubes and 2 tablespoons quartered strawberries. Drizzle each with 2 tablespoons strawberry puree.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For the perfect meringue, whip the egg whites gradually, starting at a low speed and increasing it as the whites become foamy. This will help incorporate air and create stiff peaks.
  • Make sure the strawberries are ripe and juicy for the best flavor in your cups. Strawberries that are too tart or unripe will not produce as flavorful cups.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the meringue. Make sure the hole is not too big, or the meringue will come out too quickly.
  • Bake the meringues until they are golden brown and crisp on the outside, but still soft and fluffy on the inside. Overbaking will make them tough.
  • Let the meringues cool completely before filling them with the strawberry mixture. This will help prevent the meringues from becoming soggy.
  • For a fun twist, try adding a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream to the top of each cup before serving.

Conclusion:

Strawberry Meringue Cups are a delightful and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With their crispy meringue shells and sweet and juicy strawberry filling, these cups are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try!
