Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 3 large egg whites
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 275°F (135°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Prepare the meringue: In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until they become frothy. Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, a little at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites. Once all the sugar has been added, increase the speed to high and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form. Fold in the vanilla extract gently.
- Add the marshmallows: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows into the meringue mixture, being careful not to deflate the meringue too much.
- Form the meringue nests: Using a spoon, drop dollops of the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small nests with an indentation in the center to hold the marshmallows.
- Bake to perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the meringue nests for 45-50 minutes, or until they are dry to the touch and just starting to turn golden. Once baked, turn off the oven and let the meringues cool inside for an additional 30 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy: Once the meringue nests have cooled, they are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as a standalone treat or use them to adorn other desserts such as ice cream or pudding.
