Basic Swiss Meringue image

This intermediate-level meringue is far more stable than its French counterpart, yet not as hardy as Italian meringue. Its most common, and arguably most stunning, application is a winsome, swooping shell that's baked until firm to the touch though still compellingly chewy within.

Yield Makes about 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 large egg whites
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place whites and sugar in a heatproof mixer bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Whisk until sugar dissolves and mixture registers 160 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat, and whisk on high speed until mixture is cool and stiff peaks form, about 6 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Use immediately.

I'm not sure why, but my meringue didn't hold its shape. It just kind of melted away.

This meringue recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meringue turned out flat and grainy. I'll have to try again.
