Low-Sugar Baked Meringue Dessert Squares
This is a low-sugar dessert treat good for brunch as it has egg whites, Greek yogurt, and ricotta. It has a chewy light and spongy texture that's great served chilled or cool.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (whole milk)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- black cocoa
- 3 eggs
Instructions
- Separate eggs. Tip: It's easier to separate eggs when they're cold and then let them sit until room temperature.
- Combine yogurt, cheese, and egg yolks by hand.
- Mix egg whites for about 5-7 minutes until whipped up. Optional: a few teaspoons of monkfruit or fine sugar. Depending on your baking pan/vessel size, you will have extra and can make meringue cookies with the extra.
- In your baking pan, add a layer of black cocoa (or regular cocoa will work).
- Add your yogurt dairy mixture layer.
- Add your egg whites and spread out evenly on top of the dairy layer.
- Bake on 325°F until set or the meringue is not too soft and sides may start browning.
- Let cool and serve chilled. This can be paired with ice cream.
