Mmm rice crispies with sugar...NOT porkrinds, promise!
I made some meringue cookies today with carmal Davinci syrup (recipe at the bottom)...Well Im a bozo and didnt spray the cookie sheet with Pam so they were very crumbly and just a mess. So I was thinking, this looks like what comes outta the bottom of the cereal box when all the cereal is gone. I was out of Soy Slender so I did 1/2 heavy cream 1/2 water in a bowl with the crumblys and a few bigger pieces. Wow! Tastes like really sweet rice crispies (of course I used to load the sugar on so I liked it just fine!). I guess you could flavor the meringues any way you want but this is great! Heres the cookie recipe I followed....
2 egg whites
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
½ cup granulated sugar substitute (need ½ cup volume)
Flavoring and ingredients choices as desired below
• In small mixing bowl, beat egg whites with cream of
tartar at high speed until foamy. Add sugar, two
tablespoons at a time, beating constantly until sugar is
dissolved and whites are glossy and stand in stiff peaks.
Beat or fold in various ingredients, as desired. Drop by
rounded teaspoonful or pipe through pastry tube onto
greased or lined (foil or waxed, brown or parchment paper)
baking sheets. Bake in preheated 225 degree oven until
firm, about one hour. Turn off oven. Let cookies stand in
oven with door closed until cool, dry and crisp, at least
one additional hour. Store in tightly sealed container.
I added some carmal syrup...just did it til I liked the taste. Heres the other variations that went with the recipe if you guys want them...
