I'm not a big fan of mint, so I wasn't sure if I would like these meringues. But I was pleasantly surprised! The mint flavor is very subtle and it doesn't overpower the meringue.

I had a hard time getting the meringues to stiffen. I think I might have overbeaten them.

These meringues are absolutely divine! They're so light and airy, with a perfectly crisp exterior and a soft, chewy center. The mint flavor is subtle but refreshing, and it pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the meringue.
