How to Make Meringue Nests With Kahlua Cheese Cake
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
- **Make the Meringue Nests:** In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Gently fold in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon meringue into 12 small nests (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and leave the meringue nests inside with the door slightly ajar to cool completely.
- **Make the Kahlua Cheesecake Filling:** In a separate bowl, beat together 8 ounces of cream cheese (softened), 1/4 cup of Kahlua, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Once the meringue nests are completely cool, fill each nest generously with the Kahlua cheesecake filling.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is set.
- Before serving, garnish with coffee beans or fresh raspberries and a dollop of whipped cream (optional).
