Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating until glossy and stiff peaks form (about 5-7 minutes).
- Gently fold in the vanilla extract and fresh raspberries without breaking them up.
- Spoon dollops of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring space between each cloud.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes, until firm to the touch and lightly golden at the base.
- Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
