This is very simple, classic meringues recipe with addition of instant coffee for flavour (and colour).

- 150 ml egg whites (about 5 large ones)
- 1¼ cup / 250 g golden caster sugar (¼ cup / 50 g for each egg white)
- some instant coffee dissolved in a little bit of hot water or coffee flavouring to taste
EQUIPMENT
- 2 non-stick Telfon sheets or baking paper
- 2 large baking trays
METHOD
- Whisk eggs and sugar using food processor.
- Stir in coffee or coffee flavouring and whisk some more till stiff.
- Place small portions of mixture with table spoon on baking trays layered with non-stick sheets.
- Make sure to leave space between meringues as they will grow.
- Bake in preheated oven to 150°C (302°F) for about 45 minutes.
- Then turn off the oven and let them cool down inside for about an hour.
Makes about 24 large meringues.

These look perfect! I’ll have problems stopping myself from eating many though :-)
I just did meringues last week, and its funny, I thought I’d made way too many and how on earth would I get through them all? And what do you know, now i crave meringues and have none to satisfy my craving. :-/
I wouldn’t have thought of including coffee. Sounds like it would be a nice touch. Looks great!
Thank you for so many nice comments.
I used decaf coffee for this one and children ate most of them, I could not have more than one… too sweet :D
These look wonderful! I’m going to give them a try!
Mmmm, that reminds me I haven’t made meringues in ages! Like the coffee flavoured idea…
