Eggs
Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons limoncello liqueur
- Pinch of salt
- Zest of one lemon
- Optional: Fresh berries for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large, clean bowl, combine egg whites and a pinch of salt. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks are achieved.
- Gently fold in limoncello and lemon zest using a rubber spatula, being careful not to deflate the meringue.
- Use a piping bag fitted with a large star tip to pipe meringue onto the parchment lined baking sheet, creating swirled mounds that resemble soft clouds.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the meringues are dry and crisp on the outside but still tender inside. Turn off the oven and let them cool inside with the door ajar for an additional hour.
Chef’s Insight
The secret to perfect meringue is a clean bowl and whisk, as well as adding the sugar slowly while beating the egg whites.
Notes
For added visual appeal, serve on a plate with a subtle pattern or color that complements the lemon hues of the meringue.
