Ingredients
3
large
eggs
whites only
1/4
tsp
cream of tartar
1/3
cup
erythritol or xylitol
powdered
1
tsp
vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to low, 135 C
Crack the eggs and separate the egg whites from the egg yolks. Place the egg whites into a large clean bowl or a mixer.
Start beating the egg whites on medium-low speed. Continue for about 2 minutes until the whites become foamy.
Add the cream of tartar and vanilla then add the powdered xylitol or erythritol, a tbsp at a time
Keep beating until they reach a stiff-peak and glossy stage.
Spoon the mixture on a tray lined with parchment paper or a non-stick mat and place in the oven in the middle section.
Bake at 135 C for 15 minutes.
Then, turn the temperature down to 100 C and cook for another hour.
After an hour, turn the oven off and keep the meringues in for another 1-2 hours. This will help the meringues dehydrate and get crispy.
When the oven cools down completely, remove the meringues and place in an airtight container.
