For best results, ensure your egg whites are at room temperature and your bowl is completely clean and free of any grease or residue. This will help the egg whites whip to their full volume. Toasting the cashew nuts before adding them to the meringue enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch. Be careful not to overbake the meringues, as this can result in a dry, brittle texture. Keep a close eye on them during the baking process. For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter for cooking

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large, impeccably clean glass or metal bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. (7 minutes)
03
StepAdd the vanilla extract, cream of tartar, and cornstarch. Continue whipping at medium speed, gradually adding the sifted confectioners' sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, until fully incorporated. (10 minutes)
04
StepWhip until the meringue forms a glossy, firm peak, but avoid over-whipping to prevent a dry texture. (3 minutes)
05
StepGently fold in the finely chopped, toasted cashew nuts with a rubber spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the meringue. (5 minutes)
06
StepDrop rounded teaspoonfuls of the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each meringue. (10 minutes)
07
StepBake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the meringues are set. (15 minutes)
08
StepTurn off the oven and allow the meringues to cool completely inside with the door slightly ajar. This helps prevent cracking and ensures a crisp texture. (60 minutes)
09
StepOnce completely cooled, carefully transfer the meringues to wire racks to cool further. (5 minutes)
10
StepStore in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispness.
