To make Cherry Almond Clouds, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1/2 cup fresh cherries, pitted and chopped
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped cherries and sliced almonds. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add in the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is glossy and holds stiff peaks. Fold in the almond extract.
Gently fold the cherry and almond mixture into the egg white mixture, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
Using a spoon or a piping bag, drop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in small mounds. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the meringues are lightly golden and crisp on the outside.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. The Cherry Almond Clouds should be light and airy on the inside, with a slightly crunchy exterior. The combination of sweet cherries and nutty almonds is simply divine!
