Step 1
Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Partly fill a medium pot with water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Place egg whites and brown sugar in a stainless steel bowl that fits snugly over the pot. Place the bowl over the simmering water. The bottom of the bowl should not touch the water.
Step 4
Whisk mixture slowly until sugar dissolves, approximately 5 minutes.
Step 5
Cool mixture for 3 to 5 minutes, then pour into a stand mixer with a whisk attachment.
Step 6
Starting on low speed and increasing to medium-high as the meringue forms, whisk until stiff peaks form when the whisk is removed from the mixture, approximately 5 minutes.
Step 7
Dollop 4 to 6 portions of meringue or one large portion on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Bake until just set, about 1 hour. Turn off oven.
Step 9
Allow meringues to dry in oven overnight.
Step 10
The following day, remove meringues from the oven. Top with jam, berries and/or fruit. Garnish with a sprig of mint and a light dusting of icing sugar. Serve immediately. Or wrap well and freeze for up to 2 weeks for a cold and chewy frozen meringue.
