Keep Meringues Crisp: My Foolproof Storage Tips

Let your meringues cool completely before you even think about storing them. If it’s humid, pop them in the fridge for a bit to help them dry out. Gently stack them in airtight containers—Mason jars work best. Don’t cram them in; if you’re running out of space, just grab another container. These things are fragile! Always use parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking and crushing. Add a piece under the lid, too, so the tops don’t get squished. Store at room temp (around 73°F) for up to 3 weeks. Keep them away from sunlight and heat. For long-term storage, cool them down, then freeze in layers with parchment in a freezer-safe container. Defrost at room temp for a couple of hours before eating. Avoid humidity when thawing—they’ll get sticky fast. It’s honestly super easy to keep your meringues perfect if you just follow these steps! #meringuehacks #desserttips #bakingsuccess #Food #Cooking
