Cinnamon Vanilla Bean Meringues Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Distribute the sugar in an even layer on a baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes. While the sugar is baking, add the egg whites to a stand mixer with the salt.
• Once the sugar has been in the oven for 7 minutes, begin beating the whites on high. After a minute they should be foamy. With the mixer still running, gradually sprinkle in the warm sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Once all of it has been added, beat on high until the meringue is cold, about 10 minutes.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 200 degrees F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment. Place the crushed cookies on a plate. Using a large ice cream scoop or 2 large spoons, scoop up a big dollop of meringue and place it on the plate of cookies so that they stick to the bottom. Use a spatula to carefully transfer it to the baking sheet.
• Bake until the outsides are crunchy and the insides are still slightly soft, about 2 hours. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet until hard, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine egg whites with cream of tartar, splenda and salt.
• Beat until soft peaks form.
• Fold in ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
• Drop by tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets.
• Bake at 300°F for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Combine egg whites, sugar and vanilla bean seeds in a heat-proof bowl (I used the metal bowl of my stand mixer). Set bowl over a pot of simmering water and stir until sugar dissolves and mixture is warm (not hot), about three minutes. Add salt, cream of tartar and cinnamon. Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form and meringue is mostly cool. This will take 5-7 minutes depending on your mixer. Fill a pastry bag (fitted with your tip of choice-or you can just cut the end off after filling) with the meringue. Pipe meringues into circular shapes about 1 3/4- to 2-inches in diameter on 2 parchement paper-lined baking sheets. Bake the meringues until crisp on the outside and still slightly soft on the inside, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees.
• With an electric beater on low speed, whip the egg whites and vanilla until frothy. On a medium speed, add the cream of tartar and whip until they turn white and begin to stiffen. Slowly add the sugar, whipping constantly, until the whites are stiff and glossy.
• Sift the cocoa powder and cinnamon over the whites. Gently fold the cocoa and pecans into the egg whites.
• Drop heaping tablespoons of the batter, several inches apart, on parchment lined cookie sheets.
• Bake for 45 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave the cookies in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes with the door closed.
• Store the cooled meringues in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 210 degrees F (100 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment.
• Drain chickpeas, reserving 1/2 cup liquid from the can. Save the chickpeas for another use. Pour chickpea liquid into a bowl and add the cream of tartar. Beat mixture using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, as you continually beat until glossy peaks form, about 20 minutes; beat in vanilla extract until well incorporated.
• Spoon mixture into a piping bag and pipe into small circles, about 1 inch in diameter, onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until meringues are firm and come away easily from the parchment paper, about 90 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely, at least 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Using a 4-inch round template such as an inverted bowl, draw 6 circles, evenly spaced, on parchment; place, marked sides down, on a baking sheet.
• With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat egg whites and salt until foamy. Beat in vanilla seeds. Gradually add sugar; beat until combined. Raise speed to high, and beat until stiff (but not dry) peaks form, about 15 minutes.
• Spoon meringue onto each circle (do not smooth tops). Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon coconut over half of each mound. Bake, leaving oven door slightly ajar, until outside is crisp and bottom can be removed easily from parchment, about 3 hours. Let cool. Meringues can be stored in a single layer in an airtight container up to 2 days.
