Monas Meringues

My friend Mona made these once for a little gathering at her house. They are so good, and so lite that you can eat like 5 of them!

Ingredients
  • 4 egg whites (room temperature)
  • 8 T Sugar
  • 1 T Corn Starch
  • 1 t Baking Powder
  • 1 pint Whipping Cream
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 250 (yes, 250)
  • Beat egg whites really well until fluffy. Add two tablespoons of sugar per egg white. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of corn starch (strain it in) and 1 teaspoon of baking powder.

  • Scoop about a tablespoon and a half onto the parchment paper and bake in the oven for 1.5-2 hours. For the last 30 minutes, reduce heat to 2:00 degrees. Cool down and test for gooey center..if too gooey, put back in the oven. Don't let them brown...they can be a tan-ish color...but you don't want them to brown

  • Whip whipping cream and add a little sugar to taste (a teaspoon or two). Top with fresh strawberries, blueberries or in-season fruit.
