Steps to follow:
The first step in learning how to make sugar-free meringue is to separate the egg whites from the yolks, to make sure your meringues will have the right consistency when following our recipe. It's crucial to ensure no yolk is mixed with the whites, as this can affect the meringue's ability to form stiff peaks.
Next, beat the egg whites until frothy, add the sweetener and beat the mixture using an electric mixer for best results. It is important to use a sweetener that can withstand heat, such as those based on stevia or sucralose, to maintain the desired sweetness.
When your mixture for sugar-free meringues has been mixed well, put it into a piping bag and find an oven-proof baking tray. The best way to achieve that typical meringue shape, is to squeeze out small amounts of the mixture onto the tray. To prevent sticking, consider lining the tray with parchment paper.
Finally, take the tray of sugar-free meringues and put it into the oven to cook. Let it cook with the oven door slightly open for approximately 40 minutes at 100ºC. It is important to monitor the meringues while they are cooking to prevent them from burning. If your oven doesn't allow the door to stay ajar, consider using a wooden spoon to keep it slightly open.
When they are ready, take the tray out of the oven and leave the sugar-free meringue to cool at room temperature. If you wish to make your meringues a bit different and original, you can add in a little cinnamon powder for a delicious taste. Additionally, you might consider adding a few drops of vanilla extract or a pinch of lemon zest to the mixture before baking for an aromatic twist. Enjoy!

Tips
- Some sweeteners lose their taste once in the oven. Make sure you use one with a stevia or sucralose base. It should be noted that erythritol is another good option, as it tends to maintain its sweetness even after baking.
