Number Of Ingredients 5

6 large egg whites, room temperature
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup superfine sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine whites, lemon juice, and vanilla. Beat on low speed, gradually increasing to high, until soft peaks form, about 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Sprinkle sugar over the egg white mixture; beat on high speed until glossy peaks form, about 3 minutes. Sift cornstarch over mixture, and fold to combine.
  • Using two soup spoons, drop balls of meringue onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press down on center of each ball with one spoon to form a small cup.
  • Bake 1 hour. Reduce oven temperature to 175 degrees; continue baking until outside is dry and crisp and inside is chewy, about 1 hour more. Remove from oven; let cool completely.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meringue cups turned out flat and dense. They didn't look anything like the pictures.

These were a disaster! The meringue was too runny and the filling was too thick. I don't know what went wrong.

These meringue cups were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I would try using less sugar next time.

I was a little skeptical about this recipe, but I'm so glad I tried it! The meringue cups were absolutely amazing. They were so light and fluffy, and the filling was to die for. I will definitely be making these again.

These meringue cups were a huge hit at my last dinner party! They're so light and airy, and the filling is just perfect. I used a raspberry filling, but I think any kind of fruit would be delicious.
