Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). In a large, clean bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until they form stiff peaks. Gradually add the erythritol, spices, and salt to the beaten egg whites, mixing well after each addition until fully combined. Add the vanilla extract and gently fold it into the mixture. Spoon the mixture into individual oven safe ramekins or a single larger dish, creating a small depression in the center for added elegance. Bake for 25 minutes or until the merengue is golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before dusting with cocoa powder. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect keto friendly Chilean dessert experience.
