HOW TO MAKE SWISS MERINGUE



How to Make Swiss Meringue image

Fluffy, light, billowy-yes, that sounds like a description of clouds. It's also how we'd describe this versatile Swiss meringue! Use it to top cakes, cupcakes, and meringue pies, or bake it on its own to make crunchy meringues.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 large egg whites
1 cup (198g) sugar
Pinch kosher salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Using your Swiss meringue: Swiss meringue is best when used immediately and served the same day. Do not refrigerated it in bulk or it will lose its lightness and become weepy. However, you can frost your cake or cupcakes and refrigerate overnight if needed; the meringue will be less airy the next day, but still fine.

FOOLPROOF SWISS MERINGUE



Foolproof Swiss Meringue image

This is a super stable, delicious, easy-to-make Swiss meringue that's perfect as a base for Swiss meringue buttercream or as a topping for any pie you want to make! Because it's whipped over a bain-marie, it doesn't need to be baked - which makes it especially great for my favorite lemon icebox pie (I suggest trying that if you're into lemon meringue pie!). Precision is important, otherwise it's as foolproof as the title says. Hope you love it as much as I do.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 ½ cups white sugar
6 egg whites
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Bring 2 cups of water to a simmer in a medium pot.
  • Combine sugar, egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • Reduce the heat of the pot and place the bowl over the steam. Whisk egg whites lightly until a digital or candy thermometer inserted into the mixture reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), 6 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat immediately.
  • Place bowl back onto the stand mixer with a whisk attachment. Whisk on high speed until egg whites are cool and stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Mixture should hold peaks effortlessly and start balling up around the whisk attachment while appearing silky, shiny, and pure white.
  • Use meringue immediately. It will hold its shape without separating for about a week in the refrigerator.

SWISS MERINGUE

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 pinch cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Fill medium saucepan one quarter full with water. Set the saucepan over medium heat, and bring water to a simmer.
  • Combine egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar in the heatproof bowl of electric mixer, and place over saucepan. Whisk constantly until sugar is dissolved and whites are warm to the touch, 3 to 3 1/2 minutes. Test by rubbing between your fingers.
  • Transfer bowl to electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and whip, starting on low speed, gradually increasing to high until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 10 minutes. Add vanilla, and mix until combined. Use meringue immediately.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest egg whites possible. Older egg whites will not whip up as well and may result in a meringue that is not as stable.
  • Make sure the bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of any grease. Any residue can prevent the meringue from whipping up properly.
  • Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing the speed as the meringue begins to thicken. This will help to prevent the meringue from becoming grainy.
  • Add the sugar slowly, one tablespoon at a time. This will help to prevent the meringue from becoming too stiff or grainy.
  • Continue to whip the meringue until it is stiff and glossy. The meringue should hold stiff peaks when the beaters are lifted out of the bowl.
  • Use the meringue immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

Swiss meringue is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of desserts, from pies and tarts to mousses and macarons. With a little practice, you can master the art of making Swiss meringue and create delicious and impressive desserts that will wow your friends and family.
