Description
This peaches and meringue recipe is quick and easy to make, dairy-free, and perfect for summertime!
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 3 tablespoons granulated white, divided
- 1 large egg white, room temperature
- optional toppings: crushed graham crackers, chopped nuts, granola, caramel sauce, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat oven broiler.
- Places peaches, cut side up, on a baking sheet and sprinkle evenly with 1/4 teaspoon sugar per peach half. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat until tops begin to brown, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add egg white with a pinch of salt to a mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer (or a hand blender also works well) on medium-high speed until foamy. Gradually add remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, beating briefly until the meringue holds stiff, glossy peaks.
- Place a dollop of meringue on each peach half and return to the broiler for 10-15 seconds. Turn off broiler and leave peaches in oven just until tips of meringue are browned, 20-30 seconds. (Watch very carefully so that the meringue does not burn.)
- Serve immediately, garnished with any extra toppings if you would like, and enjoy!
Notes
Recipe slightly adapted from Gourmet.
I usually stuff peaches with a sweetened mascarpone cheese. It’s an excellent springtime dessert.
Made these twice now and they’re so fast and easy and delicious. I blogged about them and linked back to you. Thanks for sharing a great idea!
This looks amazing!!! Quick question, would this work with store bought egg whites (left at room temp)? If yes, how much do you think would count as one large egg white?
Thanks Tara! And yes, that should totally work, and one egg white would just be from one egg. We hope you enjoy the recipe! :)
I love this idea! I love anything “and cream,” and while I don’t have a dairy intolerance, it’s just nice to have some alternatives up your sleeve. Plus, I adore meringue.
Thanks Nicole, we hope you enjoy this recipe! :)
YUM – these look delicious, and I’m a huge fan of peaches especially this time of year.
