French Vanilla Meringues - Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free Desserts

On one of my many grocery store quests to find gluten free foods I have yet to try, I happened to stumble upon Trader Joes french vanilla meringues. With just two ingredients, egg whites and powdered sugar, they are light, airy, and crisp, with the perfect touch of sweetness. Quite honestly, I could probably eat an entire container in one day, but (thankfully) I have yet to make this feat a reality. Since I had both ingredients on hand, I decided to dust off my KitchenAid and give this recipe a whirl. The end result? Dangerously delicious.

2 egg whites, room temperature
1 1/2 C. powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 185 F

Using the whisk attachment, beat egg whites on medium speed until stiff peaks form (about 5-8 minutes).
Switch to paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed, slowly adding in powdered sugar and vanilla.
Mix until shiny and satin like, about 12-15 minutes.
Scoop meringue into a pastry or zip-lock bag and pipe onto parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake for 2 hours, until crispy on the outside and slightly chewy on the inside.
