Instructions

Step 1

Prepare Egg White Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine 4 grams of egg white powder with 36 grams of water. This will give you the equivalent of one egg white. If you want to make more, use the same ratio; for instance, you can mix 16 grams of egg white powder with 144 grams of water to substitute for four egg whites.

Step 2

Mix Ingredients

Whip the egg white mixture using a mixer for about one minute. Make sure it is well combined. After that, gradually add 225 grams of sugar while continuing to whip the mixture.

Step 3

Whip to Desired Texture

Continue whisking the meringue for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until you achieve the desired texture. You should aim for stiff peaks that hold their shape well. This process is essential for a stable meringue.

Step 4

Final Touches

Your stabilized sugar meringue is now ready to use! You can store it or use it immediately in your favorite dessert recipes. To purchase egg white powder, check local baking supply stores or online marketplaces like Zero Shop.

Servings

When it comes to serving your sugar meringue, the possibilities are endless! Imagine a dreamy meringue piled high on top of a luscious lemon tart, adding both texture and an eye-catching aesthetic. Or picture a fluffy layer of meringue draped over a chocolate cake, creating a delightful contrast of flavors. Not only does meringue serve as a fantastic topping, but it can also be used to make delightful cookies. Bake small meringue kisses and serve them alongside your afternoon tea for a **sweet surprise**. 🥳 For an extra touch, consider adding a sprinkle of edible glitter or fresh fruit on top before serving! 🍓✨

Variations

Gluten-Free & Vegan Options: 🌱 The best part about this recipe is how easy it is to adapt! For a **gluten-free** version, simply ensure you're using a certified gluten-free albumin. If you’re looking for a vegan twist, consider substituting the albumin with aquafaba, the liquid from canned chickpeas. Just whisk it up in the same proportions as mentioned in the recipe, and enjoy a meringue that’s completely plant-based! Your vegan friends will love it! ❤️

Faq

  • Q: What if my meringue doesn't whip up properly?

    A: Ensure your bowl and utensils are absolutely clean. Any grease can prevent the meringue from reaching its full potential. Also, make sure your ingredients are at room temperature!

  • Q: Can I make this meringue ahead of time?

    A: Absolutely! You can prepare the meringue in advance and store it in an airtight container. Just be aware that it’s best enjoyed fresh.

  • Q: What’s the best way to store leftovers?

    A: Keep your meringue in an airtight container at room temperature. If left exposed, it might get sticky due to humidity.

  • Q: How can I tell when my meringue is done?

    A: The meringue is ready when it holds stiff peaks and looks glossy. Test it by turning the bowl upside down—you shouldn't see any movement!

  • Q: Can I flavor my meringue?

    A: Yes! You can fold in extracts or zest—like vanilla, almond, or lemon—after achieving the desired peaks for added flavor.

  • Q: What's the secret to getting a perfect meringue crust?

    A: Bake it at a low temperature for a longer time. This ensures it dries out and achieves that perfect crispy exterior.
