Meringue Swirls
The perfect meringues are light and airy clouds, chewy and soft, with a crisp exterior.
Meringue swirls are being baked in preparation of Passover and the arrival of spring. This bowl of sweet treats won’t last very long, as they are a family favourite.

Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe. I’ll have to get some piping bags and tips. Look forward to making this.

Hi Diana,
You can improvise with a ziplock bag. Cut a smallish hole in the corner and it will work without a tip, just won’t have such a defined look. I hope you give it a try.
