Keto Sugar Free Meringue Cookies
Description
Keto Sugar Free Meringue Cookies rely on beating fresh egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gradually folding in powdered inulin and erythritol sweeteners to maintain volume and sweetness without sugar. Vanilla extract adds subtle flavor. The meringues are shaped on baking sheets and baked initially at a higher low heat, then at an even lower temperature to fully dry and crisp without coloring. Finally, leaving them in the warm oven as it cools ensures they fully dehydrate, creating a light and crunchy texture.
The resulting cookies are low in net carbs, with a texture that is crisp on the outside and light inside. Variations include different extracts or dipping in melted sugar-free chocolate to add flavor. These cookies can be a suitable treat for those limiting sugar intake.
They can be stored well and maintain their texture if kept dry.
Ingredients
- 2 egg white
- 4 tbsp / 40g inulin
- 3 tbsp / 30g erythritol powdered
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 110 C electric / 230 F.
- Put 2 very fresh egg whites into a clean, dry glass or metal bowl. Whisk with an electric mixer until stiff - but take your time! Start with a slow speed and increase the speed once the egg whites become foamy and begin to thicken. This will take 2-3 minutes.
- Mix the inulin and erythritol in a separate bowl. Add to the egg whites a spoonful at a time, while whisking on a high speed. Last, add the vanilla extract and continue whisking until combined.
- Fill into a piping bag and pipe cookie shapes onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper. If you don't have a piping bag, simply spoon little cookie heaps onto the sheet!
- Bake for 15 minutes on a low shelf. Then turn down the oven to 90 Celsius / 200 F and continue to bake for around 45 more minutes. Then turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside for at least another hour so they can dry out.
Notes
- Use very fresh egg whites and a clean, dry bowl for best whipping results.
- Be patient whipping for stiff peaks to achieve the right structure.
- Bake at low temperatures and allow meringues to dry in the oven after baking to develop crispness.
- Variations include almond, lemon, or chocolate flavoring for variety.
