Refrigerate your meringues in a wide and shallow container. Place all of your meringues into a wide, shallow container immediately after removing them from the oven. Afterwards, put the container uncovered into the fridge for cooling. Placing warm meringues in the freezer right after cooking can reduce the temperature of surrounding items and cause them to thaw and refreeze, which can ruin the texture and taste of some foods.
If you freeze your meringues before letting them cool, they can raise the temperature of your freezer. This can cause other items in the freezer to thaw and refreeze, which can sometimes change the foods' texture and taste. Layer your meringues in a freezer-safe container.
Start off by creating your first row of meringues at the bottom of the container. Afterwards, place a layer of parchment paper on top of the first layer and continue repeating this still until the container is full.
Avoid pressing down as you stack your meringues—they are easily crushed. Seal your container and place it in the freezer for up to 1 month. Always make sure that when you seal your container, you're not crushing the meringues underneath the lid. Leave about 0. Once the container is sealed, place it in the freezer. If your freezer is a bit crowded, use some adhesive labels to stick to your container. You can store your meringues in the freezer for about 1 month. Defrost your meringues for 2 to 3 hours before eating.
You can serve them at room temperature or reheat them in the oven until they are heated through. This will soften them on the outside. You can freeze meringues, but you must be careful that when they defrost they do not absorb any moisture, because that will soften it.

Store the meringue in the container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks. Not Helpful 1 Helpful 0. Yes, you can freeze meringue. Stick them in the refrigerator uncovered. After about 30 minutes or so, use a food thermometer to check their internal temperature. When they've cooled enough, place them into an airtight container and store them in your freezer for up to 1 month.

You can keep fresh meringue in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 weeks, but any longer, and they'll go off. You can also place cooled meringue into airtight containers and store them in the freezer for up to a month, but they'll start to crack and go off after that.
Pipe the mixture onto the paper. I find it easiest to begin in the middle and pipe in circles until it's approximately three inches in diameter. Then, to make the nest, I pipe one more circle around the top of the outer circle. So simple! Three eggs make approximately one dozen 3 inch-ish nests. Have just a tiny bit left? Pipe a few dots to snack on! Bake the nests for one hour or until dry and crisp, but not blond.
My preference is to turn the oven off after one hour and leave them in the closed oven overnight. One of the best features of meringue is that it freezes so beautifully. Peel them off the parchment paper and slide the nests into freezer bags. If you want to stack them within the bag, use a bit of the parchment paper reuse the one you used to bake them in between layers.
But don't crowd them, they're fragile. Freeze until ready to use. Your email address will not be published. Don't subscribe All Replies to my comments If you would like to be notified of any replies to your comment please select "Replies to my comments".

Skip to the recipe Pavlova is one of my absolute favourite desserts, my Mum used to make strawberry pavlova for special occasions when I was little and I always loved it, there was nothing worse than hoping for seconds which I always did and finding that it had all gone!

Put you meringue into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. Start by piping a dot in the centre of your meringue nest, then in one continuous motion go around the dot twice to make a bigger circle, and then go around again on top of the outer circle to make the sides. Bake the meringue nests Place the meringue nests into the oven and bake for 1 hour 45 minutes.
