During the pandemic, I went wild with eco-friendly cooking experiments: jackfruit burgers, fruit cakes with gelatin, apple pies with ice cream topping, apple cakes, polenta creations, savory pies of all kindsā¦ and then I attempted microwave meringues.
Total chaosāpuffed up like crazyā¦ and thenā¦ it exploded in the microwave! My tiny meringue became a sugar monster, and by the time I opened the door, my kitchen looked like a full-on dessert war zone. I couldnāt stop laughing at my epic fail.
Hereās the ārecipeā for anyone brave enough to try:
