Eggs are a common ingredient in a long list of delicious desserts, but some of them only call for a certain part of the egg. We often end up with a bunch of leftover egg whites that we’re not sure what to do with, but there are many desserts you can use them in—starting with these three.

Macarons

Macarons need no special introduction because they’re one of the most popular French desserts on the market. It takes some time to master the skill of making them, but the ingredients that you’re going to use are pretty basic. In addition to egg whites, you’re going to need icing sugar, granulated sugar, and food coloring.

Meringue

Meringue cookies are incredibly easy to make and they’re one of the most popular desserts that put leftover egg whites to some good use. To make them extra delicious, you can use different food colorings or top them with everything from chocolate to fruits and chopped nuts.

Pavlova Cake

Pavlova is one of the most popular meringue-based desserts, so it goes without saying you can make it with your leftover egg whites. Whipped egg whites and sugar are its main ingredients and fruits and whipped cream are usually used as a topping.
