Number Of Ingredients 6

3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream, chilled
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries

Steps:

  • Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy.
  • Beat in the sugar, 1 Tbsp at a time; continue to beat until stiff and glossy.
  • Don't under beat!
  • Using a 1/4 cup measure, drop small mounds of meringue batter onto the parchment.
  • Try to get then into circular or oval shapes, using an icing spatula if needed.
  • Bake at 225 F (preheated) for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and leave them inside for 1 hour without opening the oven door.
  • Remove meringues from baking sheet and press an indentation in the base of each- using your thumb gently.
  • Let cool to room temperature.
  • Beat cream and powdered sugar together until stiff.
  • Fold 1/4 of the sliced fruit into the whipped cream and use to fill the indentations on the cooled meringues.
  • Decorate with remaining berry slices.
  • Fill meringues only when ready to serve.

I'm giving this recipe 2 stars because the meringues were edible, but they were not very good.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these meringues were a complete failure.

I followed the recipe exactly and the meringues didn't turn out well. They were too soft and didn't hold their shape.

These meringues were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

I'm not a big fan of meringues, but these were actually really good. They were light and not too sweet.

I've made meringues before, but this recipe is by far the best. The meringues were so light and fluffy.
