Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make meringue in the microwave in 5 minutes? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. There are only two of them: egg white and powdered sugar. If desired, you can use additives such as vanillin or citric acid to improve the taste of the dessert. Place a very small amount of them on the tip of a knife, otherwise the meringues will taste bitter.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the egg well with detergent and then dry it. Separate the white of a chicken egg from the yolk; we don’t need the yolk, it can be used for baking.

Step 3

Step 3
Pour powdered sugar into a deep bowl; you can buy it ready-made in the store or make it yourself from regular white sugar using a coffee grinder or other grinding device. Add the egg white to the bowl.

Step 4

Step 4
Using a regular spoon or whisk (you can use a blender or mixer to speed up the process), mash the ingredients until you obtain a thick, white, homogeneous mass. If it turns out so thick that you can pick it up, you can roll small balls of the same size with your hands — meringue blanks. If the mass is not very thick, then form the meringue blanks using a pastry syringe or place it with a spoon on parchment.

Step 5

Step 5
The main thing is to make small portions, because in the microwave the cooking process is slightly different than in the oven, and even if you want, you won’t get such voluminous meringues as in the oven. And to begin with, it’s better to put a small portion in the microwave to get used to the power and see how it turns out. The meringue may burn if the power is set high.

Step 6

Step 6
I dried the meringues for 1 minute at a power of 750 watts, after the beep there is no need to open the microwave door immediately, let the meringues “ripen” for a couple of minutes so that they dry better. Carefully remove the meringues from the microwave and separate them from the parchment. Since the meringue comes in the form of thin cakes, they may crumble a little when removed.

Step 7

Step 7
Serve this delicious, tender and melt-in-your-mouth delicacy to the table with tea or coffee. In addition, this meringue can be used as a base for making cakes and other desserts. Bon appetit!
