Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites, M-K Pure Vanilla Extract, and M-K Cream of Tartar until soft peaks form. For best results, make sure the egg whites are at room temperature as they’ll whip up fluffier.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture becomes stiff and glossy, ensuring all sugar is dissolved.
  3. Once prepared, spread the meringue over a pie or dessert filling, making sure to seal the meringue to the edges of the pastry all around. This will prevent shrinking.
  4. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the peaks of the meringue are golden brown.
