Can you make unsweetened meringue?

Yes, you can definitely make meringue sugar-free! However, you need to choose the right sugar substitutes carefully to create textures and flavors close to traditional recipes. Some sugar-free meringue recipes use ingredients that create an aftertaste or an objectionable texture, but this is completely avoidable.

When preparing any sugar-free meringue recipe, the choice of sweetener can make or break the end result.That’s why I decided to use Besti Luo Han Guo Powder Allulose Blend!Has an ultra-fine consistency Exactly Like real powdered sugar, it creates a perfectly crisp cookie that rivals store-bought versions…all with 0g net carbs, no gritty texture, and no aftertaste!

Ingredients and Substitutes

Tips for the Best Keto Meringue Cookies

Use these tips for optimal lightness and clarity.

• Choose your mixing bowl carefully. For best results, meringues need a clean, dry bowl made of glass, stainless steel, or copper. Avoid plastic bowls, which may leave traces of grease on the surface and prevent egg whites from forming spikes.
• Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature. This will help them whip more easily.
• Pay close attention to the baking time. Cookies can brown quickly from done.
• Extend drying time if necessary. Drying time may vary depending on the humidity in your home. They can be left in a closed oven for a day or even overnight. More time helps develop their crisp texture.
• Larger cookies take more time to bake. The smaller ones will only take 45 minutes in the oven, but the larger ones will take more time.

flavor change

• Sugar Free Lemon Meringue Cookies – Substitute 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice and 1/2 tablespoon lemon zest for the tartar and vanilla cream. Follow the written recipe steps; add the lemon juice after the egg whites are frothy, and the lemon zest before squeezing.
• Keto Chocolate Meringue Cookies – Substitute 1 tablespoon of sifted cocoa powder for vanilla and increase Besti powder amount to 1/3 cup. Before piping, sprinkle the sifted cocoa powder over the meringue mixture and fold gently until fully incorporated.
• Sugar Free Keto Almond Meringue Cookies – Substitute 1/2 teaspoon almond extract for vanilla and use 1/3 cup Besti powder. Beat egg whites until opaque and foamy, then add cream of tartar and almond extract and beat on high speed until stiff peaks form. Pipe and bake according to recipe card.
• Keto Peanut Butter Meringue Cookies – Increase Besti powder amount to 1/3 cup and replace vanilla with 1/4 cup smooth natural peanut butter. Before piping, mix peanut butter on low speed until just combined.
• Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies – Substitute 1 teaspoon of pure peppermint extract for vanilla and increase the amount of Besti powder to 1/3 cup. Prepare according to recipe card, adding 1-2 teaspoons of green food coloring (if desired) along with cream of tartar. Add 1/2 cup unsweetened chocolate chips before transferring to piping bag.

Storage Instructions

• Shop: Place sugar-free meringue cookies in an airtight container and store at room temperature in the pantry or cupboard. Avoid heat and humidity, which will soften them – if that happens, simply bake in a 200°F oven for 10 minutes, then cool until crisp.
