These Meringues have been known to convert non-meringue lovers into big fans! – I’m not sure if it’s the small nature of them – the fluffy yet satisfyingly chewy centers or the crisp shells! (Or if they are just eating the meringue to get to the whipped cream & berry filling!!) Either way, they are a great dessert and a wonderful addition to a buffet or summer menu! They also happen to be my favorite dessert of all time! So let me know how they go down at your next event!
Meringues/Mini Pavlovas
Serves: 6 desserts
Prep Time – 20 mins
Cook time – 1 hour
Ingredients:
- 3 Large egg whites
- 175g sugar

Method:
- Preheat the oven to 275 F
- Whisk egg whites until they create soft peaks
- Add sugar slowly whilst still whisking
- Add vanilla extract and fold in
- Line a baking tray (or two) and spoon the mixture into 6 rounds – you can pipe it, but it may affect the fluffy nature of the finished meringue – and if you work at it you can create pretty rose like patterns with the back of a spoon.

- Assemble the mini pavlovas & serve the beautiful little desserts.
