Finding a simple dessert that would appeal to both children and adults is definitely not an easy task. Especially when you want to host someone who is on a diet or wants to eat something light. Perhaps it will be the sweet meringues, which are perfect when paired with sweet strawberries. If you buy meringues in the store, they are full of preservatives and artificial sweeteners. Those baked at home are simply perfect and melt on the tongue. It only takes a few minutes, two ingredients and you can have a simple, light and charming treat on the table.
Prepare these ingredients
- Eggs size M 2 pieces
- Powdered sugar 300 grams
Preparation steps
Prepare a bowl and a cup. Now separate the yolks from the whites and place the whites into the bowl. Set the yolks aside. Add the powdered sugar to the bowl with the whites and whip with a hand mixer for two to three minutes. If the mixture is very runny, add more sugar and mix for a while again. Once the mixture is thick enough for you to shape small meringues, the dough is ready.
No baking
Meringues are usually dried in the oven, but we will not put these meringues in the oven. Shape small meringues from the dough, take a plate, line it with baking paper and place them on it. Now put about eight meringues into the microwave and heat on full power for about one to two minutes. After two minutes the dessert should be crisp and hard to the touch. You can serve the meringues prepared this way with vanilla ice cream and strawberries. You can also sandwich the meringues with caramel cream or jam; there are no limits to your creativity.
More ideas
If someone close to you loves meringues and has a birthday, try baking a caramel cake and decorating it with meringues. You can also mix food coloring into the batter, for example red or pink, and prepare them in different colors for a children’s party. This little treat will surely be enjoyed by everyone.
