The Easiest Meringue

I would love to call it “1-Minute Meringue,” but that wouldn’t be entirely accurate. The baking time is only 1 minute, but you’ll need a few more minutes to prepare it. You can add nuts, chocolate, dried cranberries, or shredded coconut to the meringue if you like. My favourite version is with chopped pecans 

Ingredients (makes 7)

• 1 egg white

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar (60 g)

• Finely chopped nuts, chocolate chips as desired

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C

2. Beat the egg white on high speed until foamy

3. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until smooth and white

4. Add the nuts and chocolate chips and mix

5. Place on foil (not parchment paper!)

6. Place in the preheated oven and turn the oven off after 1 minute

7. Let the meringues dry, without opening the oven, for ~10 hours
