    Can you ever have too many zero carb snacks?

    Okay, these low carb meringue cookies aren’t QUITE zero carbs. They have 0.1 net carbs per three cookies. That makes them a pretty keto friendly treat if you ask me.

    I also like sugar free meringue because it’s super low in calories. 

    Each cookie only has 2 calories. They’re perfect when you just want a little something sweet and crunchy without adding calories or carbs. You can also sweeten them to your liking for a tasty, guilt-free snack any time!

    Finally, they’re very easy to make. So why not whip up a batch of keto meringue cookies for healthy snacking all week long?

    How to make sugar free meringue cookies egg fast friendly

    These low carb meringue cookies can be part of an egg fast, which I’ll get into in a bit, when you pair them with a yolk and fat. Plus, they’re a great snack for satisfying your sweet tooth. 

    Also, because they are almost zero carbs, they’re perfect for anyone following a keto or low carb diet. And they come together in just a few simple steps:

    • Beat the egg whites with cream of tartar in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. I like to use my stand mixer on high for this. Then slowly add the keto stevia sweetener while continuing to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

    • Spoon drops of the beaten egg whites onto the parchment paper lined cookie sheets. I usually get about 48 total meringue cookies, 24 per cookie sheet.

    • Bake the cookies at 215°F for about two hours or until cookies begin to brown. Turn off the oven and leave the cookies in the warm oven to brown to desired color.

    Technically, traditional meringue cookies aren’t supposed to be brown. However, I like them a little better when they’re crunchy. That’s why I purposely bake them this way.

    If you don’t want your cookies browned at all, just keep an eye on them when you’re getting close to two hours.

    What to do with leftover egg yolks

    This recipe calls for 5 egg whites. So if you use whole eggs rather than egg whites, you’re going to have some egg yolks leftover. 

    Rather than throw them out, you can use them in recipes that call for only egg yolks.

    Make egg fast recipes

    I like to make this frozen egg custard recipe that only uses yolks from I Breathe I’m Hungry. I discovered it during my first egg fast, and it’s quite delicious.

    You could also try my egg fast coconut oil mayonnaise that uses cooked egg yolks instead of raw ingredients.

    Other keto ideas

    If you’re not doing an egg fast, then I highly recommend using the yolks to make my favorite dessert keto tiramisu!

    I have also heard of people adding egg yolks to their coffee. In fact, there is a very popular Viatnamese recipe for egg coffee that combines espresso, egg yolks, and sweetened condensed milk. 

    To make a low carb version, whip one egg yolk with 3 tablespoon of heavy whipping cream and low carb sweetener to taste. Once the mixture is frothy and soft peaks form, use it to top espresso or strong coffee.

    Of course, you can always choose to keep it simple. A lot of the time, I just scramble the yolks with some low carb milk and make an omelette.

    What is an egg fast

    An egg fast is a method of kickstarting (or getting into a deeper state of) ketosis. The goal is to eat only eggs, fats, and cheese for the duration of the fast. 

    Ingredients with negligible calories that don’t spike blood sugar, like low carb sweeteners or baking powder, are okay in moderation. The stevia meringue cookies in this recipe are a good example.

    For every egg you eat, you also eat 1 tablespoon of fat and up to 1 oz of cheese. The fast is usually 3-5 days.

    If you follow my site, you know that I recently discovered that I have an intolerance to egg whites. This makes the egg fast unsuitable for me.

    Enjoying keto meringue cookies while egg fasting

    Below is what I ate for days 3 and 4 along with my morning weight while I egg fasted. To see what I ate the first two days, hop on over to my keto egg salad post.

    As you can see, I enjoyed these low carb stevia meringue cookies with a high fat bulletproof coffee. But to make the snack egg fast friendly, I included an egg yolk in the beverage.

    Day 3
    Morning weight: 125.6 pounds
    Breakfast: 3 eggs, Bulletproof Coffee
    Morning Snack: 1 egg, 1 organic string cheese
    Lunch: egg salad

        I'd try a teaspoon and adjust from there to taste.
