Italian Meringue
Whip up sweet magic with our Italian Meringue recipe, creating a fluffy and glossy masterpiece that elevates desserts to a cloud-like perfection.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar 200 grams
- ½ cup water
- 4 large egg whites room temperature
- ½ tsp. cream of tarter
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Heat the mixture over high heat, stirring only until it comes to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, stop stirring. Cook until sugar syrup registers 240°F (115°C) on an instant-read.
- Meanwhile, combine egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Set mixer to medium speed and mix until soft peaks form (when lifted, the head of the mixer should form gentle peaks in the egg whites that very slowly collapse back into themselves), about 2 minutes.
- With the mixer running, carefully and slowly drizzle in hot sugar syrup. (use caution!) Increase speed to high and whip until desired stiffness is achieved.
