Air fryer meringue

Whip up sweet and crispy meringue with the help of your air fryer.

Our meringue can be used for a variety of British desserts such as Pavlova and Eton mess. A perfect addition to summer dishes, especially when served with thick, whipped cream and fresh strawberries.

What you'll need...

  • 3 large eggs, whites only
  • 200g caster or granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or bean paste

Method

  1. Separate the eggs and add the whites to the bowl of your stand mixer. Pour in the sugar, lemon juice and vanilla extract into the bowl and place over a saucepan of simmering water – creating a bain-marie.  

  2. Use a balloon whisk to stir the mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved. If the mix feels gritty, continue to stir until smooth. 

  3. Attach the mixing bowl to the stand mixer and fit the whisk attachment. Whisk on a high speed until the meringue holds stiff peaks – the meringue needs to be stiff and glossy. This can take around 10 minutes. 

  1. Fill a piping bag with a large star tip with the meringue and place a liner inside your air fryer basket. Pipe your meringue how you wish. You can either make small, separate meringues or pipe a ring of meringue and fill the middle to create a Pavlova.  

  2. Bake in the air fryer at 120C for 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to 95C and cook for a further 1 hour and 10 minutes. Once done, turn off the air fryer and leave the meringue to cool in the basket for around an hour. 

  3. Once cooled, use how you wish! Whether it be for an Eton mess or lemon meringue.
