Dukan Recipe > Meringue Dessert

I decided to experiment with a new dessert for the Dukan, this is a light & sweet treat - think pavlova. Only 2 ingredients and safe for all stages of the Dukan Diet.

Ingredients

1 egg white
2 tablespoons of sweetener

Method

Preheat the oven to 120 degrees Celsius
Separate the white of 1 egg into a bowl, discard yolk (be careful not to get any yolk in the bowl, this will stop the whites getting fluffy)
Beat with a mixer until peaks form
Add in the sugar and continue mixing until combined
Spoon large scoops onto a baking tray lined with baking paper
Place in the oven for 45 mins or they dry and harden.
Let cool completely before removing from tray

Serving suggestions:

Normally this type of dessert is served with cream & fruit - think pavlova.
I haven't tried these yet but I'm considering some alterations:

mixing cream-cheese & vanilla essence together to serve with this instead of cream
also maybe a vanilla yogurt would work...
You could also add food colouring for something different
Maybe even powdered coffee, chocolate coca or cinnamon
Some lemon rind mixed in would be a nice flavour also

Pictured to the right is a meringue spread with cream-cheese, an odd flavour but I liked it.
