Ingredients (5)

serves

3 large room temperature egg whites
pinch of saltsalt
1 tsp vanilla extract (*see paragraph above for flavor variations)vanilla
1/3 cup Better Than Sugar (or another sugar free sweetener)
optional; natural food coloring if desired- I didn't use any.

Instructions (5 steps)

01Preheat your oven to 225 degrees F. Place silpats or parchment onto 2 cookie sheet pans.
02Place egg whites into clean bowl or stand electric mixer. Using the whisk attachment, start whipping on a low speed and as it begins to form continue to increase to medium speed. Sprinkle in salt and continue to whip egg whites. Drizzle in vanilla extract. When you start to see soft peaks forming, add a small amount of the sugar free sweetener. Continue to add small amounts while whipping at a high speed. Continue to whip until the egg whites have started to pull away from the sides of the bowl and you see stiff peaks. If you're unsure if they are stiff, you should be able to flip the bowl over and nothing moves or slips.
03Place half of the whipped whites into the decorating tool or pastry piping bag with a star tip.

05Bake for 2 hours. Then shut the oven off and leave them in the oven for another hour. Remove from the oven and allow to sit out on the counter to completely dry out. This can take a few more hours. Store in an airtight container. We found ours crisp in the center of the meringue the next day.
