Pistachio meringues are an exquisite dessert of French cuisine that embodies lightness and airiness. Historically, meringues appeared in the 18th century and have since captured the hearts of sweet lovers worldwide. Their uniqueness lies in the crispy shell and tender, melt-in-your-mouth center. In this version, the subtle nutty flavor of ground pistachios harmoniously blends with the sweetness of powdered sugar, creating a refined palette of flavors. Pistachio meringues are perfect for tea time or as a finale to a festive dinner. They can be served with fruits, ice cream, or cream, or simply enjoyed on their own when craving something light and airy.
