    Tips for Perfect Coconut Keto Meringues

    Though these Keto Meringue Cookies are easy to make, there are a few tips to ensure they turn out great every time:

    What Sweetener is Best for Sugar Free Meringues?

    You can use most any brand of Keto sugar substitutes but you'll want to use the confectioners form. I used Swerve in this recipe, but you can used powdered Monk Fruit or Allulose if you prefer. The sweetness may vary a bit from depending on the type you use, so you may want to taste the meringue as you go.

    How to Help Egg Whites Stiffen

    You'll want to always start out with a really clean and dry bowl. Moisture can prevent your eggs white from reaching proper peaks.

    If your making these in a humid environment, it may be a little harder to get the meringues to form. Try adding a ½ teaspoon white vinegar to the egg whites. This can help to stabilize them.

    Resist Over-Mixing Coconut Meringues

    When adding the coconut to this recipe, fold it in gently. Over-mixing could result in your meringues deflating.

    Are Meringue Cookies Keto?

    These sugar free Coconut Meringue Cookies are PERFECT on Keto! They only have a trace amount of carbs comes from the coconut but because there is so little per cookie, there's less than one net carb per cookie.

      If you have a bit if lemon to hand rub your bowl and whisk lightly with it (either juice or peel) before you use them to whisk the meringues, it will ‘degrease’ them

        They can be frozen for a short period. I would not freeze them for over a month, at the most. Meringue is delicate and tends to absorb moisture, so when you thaw them, allow then to sit on parchment paper uncovered.

        The carbs are so low, they are a trace amount.

      Mine turned out PERFECT! I think people that have never made meringue before don't know to not use a plastic bowl! And beaters/bowl must be clean clean clean. Also, not a drop of yolks can be in the egg whites. I am in keto heaven with these!!

      Texture and taste were great but mine ended up much flatter. I definately had shiny stiff peaks too!

        I'm not sure why that would be. Maybe it's a bit more humid where you are? It's the only thing I can think of that would cause that.

      Hi! I tried these and I’m not sure what I did wrong...I baked them at 275 for 30 mins and let them sit in the oven for about 1 hour 20 mins and they’re still sticky. I tried baking them for an extra 10 mins but that didn’t seem to help. Any ideas?

        Hi Lauren,
        Is it really humid where you are? I can't imagine why they'd still be sticky after that much time, honestly. To get them crunchy all the way through, it's best to let them sit in the oven (warm, but turned off) for 2 hours. I would try baking them a little longer and without opening the oven, turn it off and let it sit for another hour or so. They really shouldn't need that much longer unless it's super humid where you are.
