Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.
-
Gradually add the sugar, a spoonful at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites. Increase the speed to high and beat until glossy stiff peaks form.
-
Gently fold in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until well incorporated.
-
Carefully fold in the finely chopped hazelnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the meringue mixture.
-
Using a piping bag or a spoon, create small mounds of meringue on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the meringues are crisp on the outside and slightly chewy on the inside.
-
Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside with the door slightly ajar for about an hour to let them cool gradually and prevent cracking.
-
Serve the Hazelnut Meringues on a platter or store them in an airtight container for up to a week for later enjoyment.
