Raspberry Sauce Drizzled Meringues

These sweet egg white meringues are a delightful treat, especially when paired with a tangy homemade raspberry sauce. The crispy exterior and soft interior of the meringues perfectly complement the fruity and slightly tart raspberry sauce. Its a simple yet elegant dessert that will impress your guests.

Ingredients:

• 4 large egg whites
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 250F 120C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until they form stiff peaks

Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites until the mixture is glossy and all the sugar is incorporated

Add the white vinegar and vanilla extract, and gently fold them into the meringue mixture

Using a spoon or a piping bag, create small meringue nests on the prepared baking sheet

Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour or until the meringues are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside

Then, turn off the oven and let them cool inside with the oven door slightly ajar

While the meringues are cooling, prepare the raspberry sauce

In a small saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch

Cook the raspberry mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes

Once the meringues have cooled completely, carefully remove them from the parchment paper

Drizzle the raspberry sauce over the meringues and serve immediately
