My meringues turned out a bit dry. I think I overcooked them.

I had a hard time getting the meringues to stiffen. I followed the recipe exactly, but they just wouldn't get stiff.

These meringues were a delight! They were light and airy, with a perfectly crisp exterior and a soft, chewy center. The cocoa powder added a rich chocolate flavor that perfectly complemented the tart berries.
