Yield Makes about 1 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup whole almonds
6 large egg whites
1 1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place nuts in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet; toast until golden and aromatic, about 8 minutes. Shake the pan halfway through baking to make sure the nuts toast evenly. Remove from oven; cool. Reduce oven temperature to 200 degrees. Line two 11-by-17-inch baking sheets with parchment; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine egg whites and sugar. Place bowl over a pan of simmering water. Whisk until sugar dissolves and mixture is warm, 3 minutes.
  • Transfer the bowl to the mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Starting on low speed and gradually increasing to high, whip mixture until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 5 minutes. Add vanilla, and mix to combine. Remove bowl from mixer, and fold in the toasted almonds.
  • Place 1/3-cup ovals of meringue on prepared baking sheets, about 6 per sheet. Bake 1 hour. Turn off heat; dry meringues in oven overnight. Store between layers of parchment in an airtight container in a cool, dry place up to 3 days.

Tips for Making Brown Sugar Meringues:

  • Use fresh egg whites: Older egg whites will not whip up as well and will result in a less stable meringue.
  • Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature: This will help them whip up more easily and create a more stable meringue.
  • Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing to high speed as the whites begin to foam.
  • Add the sugar slowly, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whip the egg whites.
  • Continue whipping until the meringue is stiff and glossy and holds peaks.
  • Pipe the meringue onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in desired shapes.
  • Bake the meringues at a low temperature (200°F) for 1-2 hours, or until they are dry and crisp.
  • Let the meringues cool completely before removing them from the baking sheet.

Conclusion:

Brown sugar meringues are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal party.
