How to Make Miso Mango Meringue Clouds

Ingredients

• 4 large egg whites
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/2 cup mango puree
• 2 tablespoons miso paste
• Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
• Mango slices (for garnish, optional)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a clean, dry bowl, whip the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and continue to whip until soft peaks form.
3. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whip until the meringue is glossy and stiff peaks form.
4. Spoon or pipe the meringue into circular shapes on the prepared baking sheet, creating nests with a small indentation in the center.
5. Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the meringues are dry and crisp. Turn off the oven and let them cool inside.
6. While cooling, mix the mango puree and miso paste in a bowl until smooth.
7. Once the meringues are cool, fill the center of each with the mango-miso mixture.
8. Serve with whipped cream and garnish with mango slices if desired.

How to Serve Miso Mango Meringue Clouds

Serve these meringue clouds as a light dessert after a meal. You can place them on a serving plate and add a dollop of whipped cream on top. For an extra touch, add fresh mango slices as a garnish. This will enhance the flavor and appearance of your dessert!

How to Store Miso Mango Meringue Clouds

If you have leftovers, store the meringues in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay fresh for a few days. However, it’s best to fill them with the mango-miso mixture just before serving to prevent them from getting soggy.

Tips to Make Miso Mango Meringue Clouds

• Make sure your mixing bowl is completely clean and dry. Any grease can prevent the egg whites from whipping properly.
• Be patient when adding the sugar; adding it gradually helps create a stable meringue.
• If you want a stronger miso flavor, you can increase the amount of miso paste in the filling to suit your taste.

Variation

You can experiment with different fruit purees, such as passion fruit or raspberry, to create your own flavor combinations. Each fruit will bring its unique taste to the meringue clouds!

FAQs

1. Can I use pasteurized egg whites instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use store-bought pasteurized egg whites. This can be a safe alternative if you are concerned about egg safety.

2. What can I do if my meringue doesn’t whip up properly?
Make sure your bowl and beaters are clean and dry. If they have any grease or moisture, the egg whites may not whip correctly.

3. How long do the meringues last?
The plain meringues can last for up to a week in an airtight container at room temperature. However, once filled with the mango-miso mixture, they should be eaten within a few hours for the best texture.
