Introduction
To share
French meringue is a basic pastry that can be used in many desserts. The particularity of the French meringue lies in its super simple composition of egg whites and sugar, unlike the Swiss meringue (in a bain-marie) or Italian (in boiled sugar). The French meringue is crispy and melts very quickly in the mouth.
1 serving is approximately 15 pieces of French meringue.
The extra thing:
- It can be consumed with a hot drink, a fruit salad or even an ice cream.
- If you use a whisk, be careful to beat the egg whites well with a planetary movement throughout the bowl so that it is uniform.
- It can be flavored with vanilla, chocolate, coconut, lime zest…
- For the egg whites to rise even better, take them out of the refrigerator 2 hours before working them.
