I love meringue and even better, meringue cups that you can fill with whatever you like! For these, I filled them with chocolate ganache.
Recipe for meringue cups is as follows:
*2 eggs whites at room temperature
*1/2 cup of sugar
*1 tsp of vanilla extract
*1 pinch of cream of tartar
Beat eggs whites on low-medium until frothy.
Add tartar.
Beat for about a minute then gradually add sugar.
Beat on high speed until glossy peaks form (about 5-7 minutes).
Using a star tip nozzle, go around in a small circle and pipe the base and the bottom.
Then pipe upwards making walls around the center.
Bake on 200F for about 1 1/2 hours. Let them sit in the over after you turn it off for about 30 min. Fill as you desire!
Hi Christina! Can you tell me approximately how many shells your recipe will make?
ReplyDeleteThanks much!
Hi Jan! It makes about 4-5 cups because of piping up to create that wall. If you use this recipe just for regular meringues, probably would make about 20. :)
