Delicate and airy Strawberry Matcha Meringues that combine the flavors of green tea and strawberries in a sweet, crunchy treat.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Meringues:

  • 1 1/2 cups superfine sugar (I like C & H)
  • 5 egg whites (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons Rishi matcha powder (or finely ground green tea leaves)
  • 2 teaspoons freeze-dried strawberries (finely ground, plus a bit extra for sprinkling)
  • Juniper green gel food dye (Wilton)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour in the sugar and bake for about 5 minutes until the edges of the sugar are just starting to melt.
  2. Reduce oven temperature to 200F.
  3. Meanwhile, using the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on low speed until bubbles start to form. Gradually increase the speed to high and beat until the whites form stiff peaks. You should be able to hold the bowl upside-down without them falling out.
  4. Gradually add the hot sugar, a scoop at a time and continue to beat on high until the mixture is thick and glossy. Keep beating until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Divide your meringue into two bowls. In the first, gently add the green tea powder. In the second, gently add the strawberry powder.
  6. Stripe your piping bag with the gel food dye. Carefully line your bag with the green tea meringue and then fill the center of the bag with the strawberry meringue.
  7. Dab a bit of meringue onto the corners of two cookie sheets. Put a piece of parchment on each sheet. Cut the tip of your piping bag and pipe your meringues onto the sheets.
  8. Position your oven racks on the upper-third and lower-third positions. Bake in a 200F oven for 30-40 minutes or until you can lift them off the parchment cleanly.
  9. Turn off oven and cool in oven overnight or let them cool completely on the sheets.
  10. Store in airtight containers for up to 2 weeks.
