Ingredients

• 3 large Egg whites
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Cream of tartar
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 100 grams Raspberry preserves
• 20 pieces Fresh raspberries
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a clean, dry mixing bowl, combine the egg whites and cream of tartar. Whisk with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.

Step 3

Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites. Increase the mixer speed to high and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.

Step 4

Gently fold in the vanilla extract until just incorporated.

Step 5

Spoon the meringue mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle. Pipe small dollops (approximately 1.5 inches in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 6

Bake the meringues in the preheated oven for 90 minutes, or until they are crisp and can be easily lifted off the parchment paper. Turn off the oven and allow them to cool completely inside the oven with the door slightly ajar.

Step 7

Once the meringues are completely cool, use a small teaspoon to place a dollop of raspberry preserves on the flat side of each meringue.

Step 8

Top each meringue with a fresh raspberry, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 9

Lightly dust the Raspberry Kisses with powdered sugar for a final touch.

Step 10

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
