what was ur recipe?

4 tbsp of Splenda for each egg.

I whisked the whites into soft peaks then added splenda one spoon at a time and then folded the last 3 spoons of Splenda in once it had gone stiffer peaks

I cooked for 90 minutes

They're tasteless and too airy

Think its the texture of the sweetener that makes them like this. Think you would be better off using the half spoon (half calorie) sugar x

it is pretty impossible to make a meringue without sugar, It is the sugar that creates the crispness of the meringue. Sweetener on it's own will not do it, you could do a mixture of sweetener and sugar, but personally I would just use real sugar and syn them.

Thanks for your suggestions, I'll definitely stick to 2.5 Syns for a proper meringue nest
