Share This Recipe

MAKES: 21 servings (42 meringues)

COOK TIME: 40 Min

The subtle hint of coffee gives these light and airy cookies their great flavor. It's totally worth the wait for these low calorie, low-carb, low-sugar Java Meringues!

What You'll Need

2 egg whites, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
1 tablespoon warm water

What to Do

Preheat oven to 225 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until stiff peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Fold in confectioners' sugar.
In a small bowl, stir coffee granules into warm water until dissolved. Gently fold into meringue. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets.
Bake on bottom oven rack 35 to 40 minutes or until dry. Turn off oven and leave meringues for 45 to 50 minutes, or until dry. Store in an airtight container and do not refrigerate.
