Ingredients

  • 100 g fresh blackberries
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 3 large egg whites, room temperature
  • 150 g superfine granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 pinch sal t

Instructions

  • Combine blackberries and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat; simmer for 10 minutes until softened.
  • Press the blackberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, return the liquid to the pan, and reduce until only 2 tablespoons of thick syrup remain. Let cool completely.
  • Preheat oven to 200°F (95°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a clean glass or metal bowl, whisk egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  • Increase speed to high and gradually add sugar one tablespoon at a time, whisking until the meringue is glossy and holds stiff peaks.
  • Drizzle the cooled blackberry reduction over the meringue and gently fold once or twice to create a marbled effect.
  • Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe 1-inch mounds onto the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for 105 minutes until the meringues are dry to the touch and peel away easily from the parchment.
  • Turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside with the door slightly ajar for 60 minutes to cool completely and prevent cracking.
