Can you make meringue shells ahead of time and store them??
Thanks in advance. |

| I've made the big meringue cookies (I think from Martha Stewart) & stored them in a Clik-Clak container for a few days & it worked for me, even in this humid climate. |

| Allow cooked meringues to cool thoroughly, wrap in foil or arrange in an airtight container with greaseproof paper between layers. They will be fresh up to 2 months later. If you add a teaspoon of cornflour for every three egg whites, you'll reduce the amount of weeping - they'll be drier, and will keep better. |

| Thanks for the information. I saw a recipe where you make a depression in the meringues and before serving you put a dollup of jam in the middle. Sounds good to me! |

| Tomato Girl, as another serving suggestion, the meringues are also good filled with lemon or orange curd, too! Lori |

| I made the meringues last night. It was quite an experience. I didn't know when to stop beating those egg whites. LOL. Thanks Daisyduckworth - I did put two teaspoons of cornstarch into the recipe which had 6 large egg whites.
I bought some "lemonpie filling" Comstock brand and will use a little bit in the center of the cookies.
This will be used for a Passover dinner, but I suspect that these cookies would be a great low-calorie, low-fat treat as well. They were very delicious. P.S. Next time I definitely will use PARCHMENT PAPER! |
