MERENGÓN | Cómo Hacer Un Merengón Colombiano | SyS

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: whipped topping

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

sweetened condensed milk

🥗Healthier: coconut milk

💰Cheaper: regular milk + sugar

Coconut milk is a dairy-free alternative with a similar sweetness.

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and trace medium circles on it using a cup as a guide.

Flip the parchment paper so the circles are on the bottom side.

Apply a small amount of meringue mixture to the bottom of the parchment paper to anchor it to the baking sheet.

Fill a piping bag with the meringue mixture.

Pipe the meringue into the traced circles, leaving space in the middle for air to circulate.

Bake the meringues at 250°F (approximately 121°C) for 1.5 hours.

After baking, turn off the oven and leave the meringues to dry for a few hours or overnight with the oven door slightly ajar for crispier meringues.

To assemble the merengón, break the top of one meringue.

Fill it with homemade whipped cream (crema chantillí) and add your choice of fresh fruit.

For a two-layer merengón, place another meringue on top of the fruit, break it again, fill with whipped cream, and decorate with more fruit.
