Print Recipe

Light, airy meringues infused with freeze-dried strawberries, dipped in a smooth white chocolate coating with a hint of strawberry milkshake flavor. Perfect for any occasion and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large egg whites, room temperature
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (25g) freeze-dried strawberries, finely crushed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 cup (175g) white chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry jam
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a clean, dry mixing bowl, add the 4 large egg whites and 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar.
  3. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the egg whites until frothy, about 2 minutes.
  4. Increase mixer speed to high and add the granulated sugar one tablespoon at a time, whipping until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Gently fold in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries and vanilla extract using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  6. Using a spoon or piping bag, dollop or pipe 1.5-inch (4 cm) rounds onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart.
  7. Bake for 60-70 minutes until meringues feel dry and peel away easily from parchment. If sticky, bake an additional 5-10 minutes.
  8. Turn off oven and leave meringues inside with door slightly ajar for 30 minutes to cool gradually.
  9. Melt white chocolate chips with heavy cream in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  10. Dip the base or half of each meringue into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place back on parchment to set.
  11. Optionally brush strawberry jam on uncoated halves before dipping or drizzle chocolate over the top once set.
  12. Allow chocolate to firm up at room temperature or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use organic, free-range eggs for best volume. Freeze-dried strawberries add flavor without moisture. Melt chocolate gently to avoid seizing. Cool meringues slowly in oven with door ajar to prevent cracks. Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days; freeze for up to 2 weeks.
