I had 2 egg whites to use up so I just halfed the recipe and it produced 5 good sized meringues. They came out lovely, I also added the white wine vinegar and corn flour and cocoa powder and I dipped them in chocolate! Thought I may as well go the full whammy :-) they came out light and fluffy and deliciously chewy in the middle. The cooking time was also spot on. I cooked for exactly the time the recipe stated.

These were a great success. I did the chocolate ones, finished off with whipped cream and strawberries. Definately making them again for my next dinner party!

Really easy to make, turn out perfect ecru time. Great recipe to try making meringues for the first time. I tried swirling food colours into the mix, which really worked too!

Quite an easy recipe and was intrigued to use the vinegar and cornflour. I tried the adaptation of citrus and turkish delight however i found adding the extra liquid made the mixture runny and so when spooning them onto the baking tray they all just went into a puddle and didn't hold a nice shape. Quite disappointed with that but hopefully they will taste great and have a good texture.

What a great recipe! So easy and they've come out absolutely perfect if i don't say so myself.

Returned to this foolproof recipe to try the chocolate version. Delicious and oh so beautiful to look at. Such a satisfying use of leftover egg whites!

I followed the recipe and ingredients exactly as stated but couldn't get the mixture to thicken enough to put into the piping set. Have put them in the oven, but had to spoon them onto the baking sheet, so will need to wait and see if they turn out okay. Any suggestions?

Definitely a great meringue recipe. works every time!

Made the Turkish Delight meringues using Rose water from Indian supermarket, and swirling red food colouring gently through the egg whites. They look so gorgeous I'm going to serve them at dinner party with gluten free friends.

Joanne, I bought rosewater in Sainsburys (and orange blossom which would also be great), and Tesco has also introduced it recently into its larger stores.

Never made meringue before and glad i chose this recipe as it came out wonderfully. I am going to be using this recipe again and going to try the different flavored ones

Joanne, I get my rosewater from a local deli but lakeland sell it online. Some of the bigger supermarkets have it in some areas of the country too. Or possibly a specialist cake shop?

Always nervous aboout making meringues, but was so pleased with these. I love the idea above making blue and green ones for an under the sea party!!

I have just made the chocolate bottom ones. I am having an ice crem factory themed pudding today and these will go on top of the ice creams.

Can't wait to try the turkish delight ones!! Any idea where I can get rose water from?

I have never made meringues before and these turned out perfect first time. I made the turkish delight ones and opted for a mallowy centre as per instructions, however used white vinegar as did not have white wine vinegar. I tried them straight out of the oven and they were crispy on the outside and mallowy in the middle. They are delicious. I did mix the colouring all the way through and piped them out. Next time I will try blobs as I did one for a trial and it was fine and I will also add more rosewater as I couldn't really taste it.

This recipe made fabulous meringues, I left out the vanilla essence and used cardamom and orange..seeds from 4 pods ground down and zest of one large orange and the meringues are to die for!!

mmmmmmmm yummy i have just made these with rose water and swirled pink, i didnt bother with piping them as im the one who has to do all the washing up so try not to do extra lol i just but blobs on the tray, they were lovely mega chewy in the middle yummy

I have made these twice now, both the chocolate & cream piped ones & the citrus swirl & it has got to be the easiest meringue recipe ever. I've always had problems with my meringues in the past but these appear to turn out perfectly every time.

yummy yummy yummy, these meringues are perfect and went down so well at a party. so easy to make!!!

I just found out some family are calling in tomorrow so I thought I'd try these. The pink swirl meringues look great. I left the vanilla essence in as I couldn't get my hands on rosewater this evening. The citrus meringues were a bit of a flop. They flattened as soon as I put them in the oven, and orange juice came out. They looked somewhat curdled. I binned them after 10 minutes. I'll try again with less zest, and I'll make sure it's dry. Looking forward to eating the pink ones! Very pretty.
