This easy meringue recipe is the best way to satisfy that sugar craving without all the refined sugars and carbs. Preheat oven to 200°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silpat. Beat egg whites with a hand mixer on high speed until they start to create bubbles.
* Use fresh room temperature egg whites. Ensure no traces of yolk are in the eggs and fresh (and pasture raised) are best. * Use a powdered erythritol, allulose or baking blend sweetener for the keto meringues. * Do NOT use xylitol. It will result in a chewy rubbery meringue. Can I use a Thermomix to make meringues? Yes you can.
Lowcarb-Nocarb meringue is a mixture of all the above types, where only one egg white is warmed up and whisked together with sugar-free syrup over the double boiler and then whisked until stiff peaks in the kitchen machine.
Two traditional ingredients for lemon ricotta cake are ricotta cheese and ground almonds, both of which are perfect for low carb baking. My version of lemon ricotta cake does not have a pudding-like consistency but is nice and moist. The texture is delicate yet firm.
