If the atmosphere is humid or rainy, the meringues pick up the moisture in the air because sugar is hygroscopic — in other words, it attracts water. The trick is to store the baked, cooled meringues in the freezer, where the dry, cold air prevents them from attracting moisture and losing their crispness. Also, make sure to remove the meringues from their container when you take them out of the freezer and allow them to thaw. If you pull them out of the freezer on a very humid day, you may even want to pop them in a low oven briefly so they can crisp up further. As it draws in moisture, the meringues become sticky and soft instead of dry and crisp. If they’re not eaten immediately, before the humidity can get to them, it’s basically a disaster. You can make plain meringue cookies anytime.

Meringue should be used immediately after making it, so you are using it at optimal volume.
French meringue is the least stable and should be used right away, or it will deflate and “weep,” or lose its water content.
Swiss meringue can be made up to a day in advance and stored in the fridge in an airtight container.
Italian meringue can be made up to two days in advance and stored in the fridge in an airtight container.
After incorporating your meringue into a recipe, it can last anywhere from a few days up to a few weeks.
Pies: French meringue pies will last a day or two in the fridge before showing signs of weeping.
Swiss and Italian meringue pies will keep for longer.
Buttercream Frostings: Due to a higher sugar and fat content, Swiss and Italian Meringue buttercreams will keep at room temperature for about two days or a few weeks in the refrigerator.
Meringue buttercreams also freeze well.
Cookies: Meringue cookies will keep for about two weeks in an airtight container at room temperature.

To keep them fresh and crispy, allow your meringues to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container.
This can then be stored at room temperature for two to three weeks.
Thanks to their high sugar content and lack of fat, meringues keep very well.
In fact, when stored correctly, you can enjoy your meringues for up to a month after you initially make them.
As a general rule, meringues will last about two to three weeks stored at room temperature or up to four weeks in the freezer.
