Meringues

If you enjoy crunchy desserts and sweets made with a pastry crust, it can be hard to find gluten-free sweets to satisfy your cravings. Meringues, made from egg whites and sugar, can stand in for cookies and crusts in a wide variety of dessert preparations. They take some time to put together and to bake, but they are a good weekend project and keep well for several days in an airtight container, ready for quick desserts during the week.
