Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a clean mixing bowl, combine egg whites with a pinch of salt and beat on medium speed until soft peaks form (3-4 minutes).
  3. Add cream of tartar and gradually mix in granulated sugar on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (about 5 minutes).
  4. Gently fold in the vanilla extract to the meringue mixture.
  5. Dust a piping bag with freeze-dried raspberry powder and fill it with the meringue mixture; pipe small mounds onto the baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 75 minutes until dry and crisp; then, leave them in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
  7. Peel off the meringues and store them in an airtight container.

Notes
