Raspberry Meringue Clouds

Raspberry-flavored meringue puffs that have a light and crisp texture.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 45 minutes
Servings: 30 meringues

Ingredients
  

  • 3 egg whites
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp freeze-dried raspberry powder

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 225F and line two sheets with parchment.
  2. Beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy, then add the sugar a spoonful at a time until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  3. Beat in the vanilla, then gently fold in the raspberry powder for color and flavor.
  4. Pipe or spoon small clouds onto the sheets.
  5. Bake 80 to 90 minutes until dry and crisp, then turn off the oven and let them sit inside to cool completely so they don't crack.

Notes

Make these on a dry day, since humidity makes meringues sticky.
