Raspberry Ripple Meringue

I picked up Everyday Foods in the checkout line and unlike Martha Stewart Living, I felt these recipes looked easy, quick and delicious. I made my first attempt at meringue this past weekend with a recipe out of the summer issue.

Not the best picture of them, but it was late and worried they wouldn't stick around long enough for a proper photograph in natural light. So here you have it.

Meringue is pretty easy to make and can be easily modified with the addition of fruit purees, as I soon found out. The hard part for me was knowing when they were done. The only meringue anything I have had were hard and dry. After waiting the allotted time and calling multiple family members and friends, I took them out of the oven and hoped for the best.

Anyone who knows me also knows that I LOVE sweets. I was a little skeptical when the recipe said to top with unsweetened whipped cream, but think it is best to follow a recipe for the first attempt. Add some more fruit puree and whole fruit and there you have it - Raspberry Ripple Meringue!

Hubby loved it and it definitely satisfies the sweet tooth with one serving. I made a bunch of mini servings instead of the one large one the recipe showed and they came out perfect and not dry. Glad I didn't add sugar to the whipped cream - you are so wise Martha Stewart.
