Tried this but no matter how long I left it in the oven it remained spongy – does one have to use the recipe differently when using the xylitol caster sugar?
The xylitol to sugar conversion is 1:1 but xylitol is very coarse – maybe try popping it in a grinder to make it more the consistency of castor sugar?

Hi Vanessa,
No not yet but have found a few meringue recipes using xylitol but haven’t tried these yet. Seems the longer one leaves it after baking the harder/crispier it gets! I didn’t find this with the one I tried tho but then maybe you cant just substitute the exact amounts of sugar.
