I keep making meringues with left over egg whites from Ice cream making. I wonderd if you can freeze them? Does anyone know if they freeze ok?

[..lay a little egg for me]

I wouldn't bother. As they are so high in sugar, and dry too, they keep for ages. I would also have thought they would be very vulnerable to being crushed in the freezer (I know I would end up crushing them anyway ). My Mum always said to put them in a plastic bag, suck the air out and tie tightly. Taking the air out helped to keep them apparently...

Of course, you could always freeze them in the form of lemon meringue ice cream!

I have heard that egg whites freeze well and turn into good meringues when defrosted. I have not tried it myself though.

Yes, that's what I do. Whenever I make mayonnaise or something that needs only yolks, I freeze the whites (I just add them to a pot I keep in the freezer and write a note of how many whites are in there on the top). When I have enough whites, I make meringues.

Me too, I just put the whites in the freezer until I need them (usually for pavlova ).
