By chimo on (updated on )

Ingredients

  • 6 egg whites
  • 1.15 gram cream of tartar (3/8 teaspoon)
  • 75 gram sugar (3/8 cup)

Directions

  • Remove eggs from the refrigerator and separate, as they will separate best cold.
  • Allow egg whites to reach room temperature to allow them to whip to their fullest.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Pour eggs whites into a spotlessly-clean bowl.
  • Whip the egg whites until they are glossy and smooth
  • Add the cream of tartar to help the egg whites hold their form.
  • Slowly add the sugar to the egg whites about a tablespoon at a time, beating after each addition until the sugar is incorporated.
  • Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
  • Spread meringue on top of pre-baked or no-bake dessert
  • Place about 4 inches under the heat and bake for about 10 minutes, until golden.

Note: consider using the egg yolks for creme brulee.
