These espumillas were a bit too dry for my taste.

I made these espumillas for my friend's birthday, and she loved them! She said they were the best meringues she'd ever had.

I added a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the meringue, and it gave the espumillas a lovely flavor.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the almonds with chopped pecans. They turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my espumillas turned out too brown. I think I should have baked them at a lower temperature.

These espumillas were delicious! The only thing I would change is to add a little bit of salt to the meringue to balance out the sweetness.
