Meringue Kisses in the Air Fryer
Meringue kisses, light and airy little bites of sweetness, prepared quickly and easily in an air fryer. This method gives the kisses a perfectly crisp surface with a soft, chewy centre.
Equipment
- 1 Air fryer Capacity of approx. 3.5 to 4 litres
- 1 Hand mixer
- 1 Stand mixer Alternative to a hand mixer
- 1 Parchment paper
- 1 Piping bag
- 1 Star piping tip
Ingredients
- 2 pcs egg whites pasteurised
- 100 g caster sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp lemon juice optional, for stability
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 100°C. (Pre-program it, or let it run for a couple of minutes before cooking.)
- Use a completely clean and grease-free bowl to whisk 2 pcs egg whites until frothy. Add 1/4 tsp lemon juice if you're using it.
- Gradually add 100 g caster sugar while you keep whisking, until the mixture is thick and glossy and the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Add 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and whisk until well combined.
- Fill a piping bag with the meringue mixture and pipe small kisses onto a piece of baking paper that fits in your air fryer basket.
- Place the baking paper in the air fryer and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the kisses are dry on the surface and easy to lift off the baking paper.
- Turn off the air fryer and let the kisses rest in the air fryer for a further ½ hour to achieve the perfect texture.
Notes
For the best results, avoid making meringue in rooms with high humidity, as this can affect the texture.
