Step-by-Step Instructions for Coffee Meringues
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C) and prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine egg whites and a pinch of salt. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gradually add the sugar one tablespoon at a time, continuing to beat on medium-high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Gently fold in the instant coffee granules and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Transfer the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
  6. Pipe small swirls onto the baking sheets, leaving space between each.
