  • *Watch out with the gelatine powder, as some of them may contain egg, milk or wheat traces.

  • *This meringue can not be baked.

  • *The mould we have used for this recipe has the following measures: 25cm long x 7,5cm height x 11,5cm wide.

  • *In order to prepare a dairy free version of this recipe, replace the milk and yogurt with vegetable milk and yogurt, and the butter with margarine.

  • *Replace the wheat flour with our flour mixture for a gluten free version of this recipe.

  • *It's very important not to let the meringue cool down entirely, otherwise it'll be very difficult to work with. In the same way, to be able to smooth out the meringue more easily, soak the spatula in warm water and dry after each "spread".

  • *This meringue is very different from a traditional one, being this sugar free option much more airy, similar to foams. Nonetheless, we think this is a really interesting sugar free alternative.

  • *You may substitute the stevia with any other powder sweetener.

  • *We used sweeteners, not sugar, in this recipe. However, due to its fat content, a moderate consumption is recommended for diabetics.
