INGREDIENTS
METHOD
For the meringues: • 2 egg whites • ¼ cup (45g) Natvia • ½ tsp vinegar
For the meringues: 1 Preheat oven to 100°C. Use the bottom of a cupcake liner as a stencil, and use a marker to draw 12 circles on a piece of baking paper. Turn the paper over and place on a baking tray. 2 In a very clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, add the Natvia and beat until fully incorporated. Add the vinegar, beating until stiff peaks form. 3 Use a spoon to divide meringue mixture onto prepared baking paper, forming rounds on the stencils. Make a slight dent in the top of each meringue. 4 Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the meringues are crisp on the outside but still slightly pale. Turn off the heat and leave the meringues to cool inside the oven for about an hour.
