Air Fryer Meringues: Light, Crispy, and Delightfully Sweet

Serving: Serve these meringues as a snack, a topping for fresh fruit, or as a light dessert. You can also crush them up and sprinkle them over ice cream or yogurt for added texture.
Storage: Store meringues in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If they get a bit soft, place them back in the air fryer at 180°F for a few minutes to crisp them up again.
Variants

Chocolate Meringues: Fold in cocoa powder to the meringue mixture for a chocolatey twist.
Citrus Meringues: Add a teaspoon of lemon or orange zest to the egg whites for a fresh, fruity flavor.
Nuts: Gently fold in chopped nuts, like pistachios or almonds, before baking for a crunchy addition.
FAQ
Q: Can I make meringues without cream of tartar?
A: Yes, you can substitute cream of tartar with a small amount of lemon juice or vinegar, but cream of tartar helps stabilize the egg whites for a better texture.

Q: How do I know when the meringues are done?
A: The meringues should feel firm and crisp when you tap them. If they’re still soft or sticky, they need more time.

Q: Can I make these in the oven instead?
A: Yes! You can bake meringues in the oven at 200°F (93°C) for 1-2 hours, depending on their size, for a similar result.
