Meringue Drops
- 1 large egg white, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Preheat the oven to 150 F, or the lowest setting possible.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat the egg white in a small bowl with a wire whisk until foamy.
- As you continue beating, add the sugar gradually, until the meringue holds stiff and glossy peaks when the whisk is lifted from them.
- Spoon the meringue into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip and pipe onto the prepared baking sheet to form 3/4-inch rounds.
- (If you dont have a pastry bag, drop the beaten whites by the slightly rounded teaspoonful, keeping the little mounds as high as possible.)
- Bake until the meringues are completely dry and very light, about 2 1/2 hours.
- Cool completely.
- Pour the cream into a small, chilled bowl.
- Beat with a wire whisk or an electric mixer until the cream holds stiff peaks.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the whipped cream onto the flat side of one of the meringues.
- Press the flat side of a second meringue gently onto the cream to make a meringue sandwich.
- Repeat with the remaining meringues and cream.
- Chill the meringue drops on a serving plate in the refrigerator 1 hour before serving.
