I found this on the web:
MERINGUE BY SPLENDA GRANULAR

Makes enough meringue to top one (9-inch) pie.

3 Egg Whites
1 Tbsp. Cornstarch
1/4 tsp. Cream of Tartar
1/3 cup SPLENDANo Calorie Sweetener, Granular
1 tsp. Vanilla

Place egg whites in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Beat on high speed with an electric mixer using the whisk attachment until frothy. Add cornstarch, cream of tartar, SPLENDA Granular and vanilla. Beat on high speed until slightly stiff peaks form.

Use in your favorite recipes where meringue is required.

I know this is for a pie topping so dont know if it will work for meringues.

Lorna I've been wondering this same thing myself recently, I was just going to use my normal meringue recipe replacing the sugar with splenda (using replacement quantites it states on side of splenda box)...

I will let you know if it works!
