Portuguese Snow Drops
Portuguese Snow Drops are airy meringue bites with a delicate shell that gives way to a marshmallow-soft center, brightened with a hint of lemon. Light, sweet, and whisper-crisp, they’re perfect for holidays or teatime, and can be dressed up with a touch of color or sprinkles for a festive look.
