Variations

Secrets of tenderness and taste

The main secret to tender meringues is whisking the egg whites correctly. Make sure your mixer is clean and dry, and the egg whites are at room temperature. Add the sugar gradually until the mixture becomes glossy and stable.


Tips on ingredients

Use fresh eggs for best results. For a richer flavour, try replacing regular milk with coconut milk.


Small culinary nuances

Bake the meringues at a low temperature so that the top layer is browned and the inside remains tender.
