Ohhh yes—air fryer meringue is a thing, and it’s kinda magic ✨
Tiny, crisp clouds with marshmallow vibes inside.
Air Fryer Meringue (Easy + Reliable)
Ingredients
- 2 large egg whites (room temp is best)
- ½ cup (100g) sugar (superfine/caster if you have it)
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar (optional but helps stability)
- ½ tsp vanilla (optional)
Instructions
- Whip it good
- Beat egg whites until foamy.
- Add cream of tartar.
- Slowly add sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, whipping until stiff, glossy peaks.
- Mix in vanilla.
- Shape
- Pipe or spoon small meringues onto parchment paper cut to fit your air fryer basket.
- Keep them small—air fryers = intense heat.
- Air fry (low & slow)
- Set air fryer to 90–100°C (195–210°F).
- Air fry for 45–60 minutes.
- They should be dry on the outside and lift easily off the paper.
- Cool + dry
- Turn air fryer off and let meringues sit inside with the door slightly open for 15–30 min to finish drying.
Pro Tips (very important)
- 🚫 No high heat — meringue browns fast.
- 🧻 Always use parchment (not foil).
- 🌬️ If your air fryer runs hot, crack the basket slightly.
- 🍫 Add cocoa powder, freeze-dried fruit dust, or swirl Nutella before piping.
If you want:
- chewy-center pavlova-style
- chocolate meringues
- keto/erythritol version
- or troubleshooting (weeping, cracking, browning)
Just say the word 😌
