Cardamon and Vanilla Spiced Meringues
Description
INGREDIENTS
2 egg whites, room temperature
¼ tsp cream of tartar
½ cup (110g, 4oz) sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp cardamon powder
Strawberries, for garnish
Cranberries, for garnish (optional)
METHOD
Preheat air fryer to 140°C (285°F).
Add the egg whites to a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until foamy.Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites and continue beating until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the sugar a tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites. Beat until the sugar is completely dissolved and stiff peaks form. This may take several minutes.
Gently fold in the vanilla and cardamon.
Transfer the meringue mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip or any desired tip. Pipe small meringue kisses or dollops onto a lined tray, leaving a little space between each meringue.
Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the meringues are dry to the touch and easily lift off the paper.
Turn off air fryer and let the meringues cool.
Serve garnished with fresh strawberries and cranberries (if available).
