Ingredients
- 2 egg white
- 1/8 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- ¾ - 1 cup fruit curd in one or more flavors (I used lemon, lime and strawberry
- berries optional; or other decorations to top the curd
- mint leaves optional; or other decorations to top the curd
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 225° F.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar and vanilla until foamy. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until stiff. Meringue should hold a shape well.
- Draw a series of 16 2-inch circles on a sheet of parchment with a pencil. Turn the parchment over so the pencil side is down (you will still be able to see the lines) and place on a baking sheet.
- Place a dollop of meringue over the first circle on the meringue, then use a teaspoon to create a depression (to hold the curd later) in the center. Repeat with the remaining meringue batter. Alternatively, place the meringue batter into a piping bag with a star tip and pipe small baskets the size of the circles.
- Bake for 45 minutes, then turn the oven off and let sit in the closed oven (no peeking) another 45 minutes if possible.
- When meringue nests are baked and cool, fill with a heaping spoonful of fruit curd and decorate.
Notes
- Once filled, they should be eaten the same day, or the next at the latest (store in the refrigerator, along with any unused fruit curd). Unfilled meringue nests can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks.
