Pick up all your essentials and gather the ingredients for these gluten-free Mini Meringue Nests – the perfect little treats for the whole family. Quick, fun to make, and delicious to share, they’re sure to be a hit this Easter.

Ingredients:

• Butter, for greasing
• Egg whites – 2
• Caster sugar – 1/4 cup
• Shredded coconut, toasted – 1/4 cup
• Cream, whipped – 3/4 cup
• Cadbury Mini Eggs – 24
• Dots of pink food colouring

Method:

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 120°C. Grease and line two baking trays.

Step 2: In a small, clean bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until it dissolves and foam is stiff and glossy. Add food colouring and beat to combine.

Step 3: Spoon level tablespoonfuls of mixture onto prepared trays to form 24 nests.

Step 4: Bake for 30 minutes. Turn oven off and leave meringues in oven overnight, with the door ajar, to let the nests fully dry out.

Step 5: To serve, sprinkle coconut over a large platter and place nests on top. Spoon teaspoons of cream onto each nest and place eggs on top.

Tip: The meringue nests can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container. Fill with cream just before serving.
