SUGAR-FREE MERINGUES
These are a nice sugar free option for anyone who loves meringues. I used monk fruit sugar to make the meringue and it works. Xylitol also works well with this recipe. You do get that cool sugar alcohol taste, but it’s not too bad and I like to add freeze dried berries which are really good here.

Notes
I love putting freeze dried berries in these. You get a nice tartness with the sweetness.
I like to use freeze dried mixed berries or strawberries.
My favourite are the Trader Joe’s berries.
