The easiest way to save them is to pour them into a small container with a lid and send them to the freezer until the opportunity. But if you have the time and desire to indulge your family and yourself with a delicious dessert, we will tell you, How to make merengue.



The basis of merengue (beze) - proteins whipped with sugar or powdered sugar in a thick persistent foam. To get a multi-colored meringue, meringue can be divided into parts and add food dyes.

The ingredients
  • 100g protein
  • 200g sugar sand


Preparation
  1. Proteins are poured into dry dishes and begin to beat with a mixer at low speed. Then gradually increase the speed and introduce sugar to proteins. The finished meze should be thick and contain no sugar crystals.
  2. The pan is covered with parchment paper and put on it a merengue spoon or confectionery bag.



  3. Dry merengue should be in the oven, heated to 100-120 degrees for at least an hour. Then turn off the oven, and when it cools a little, take out the finished dessert.


Swiss confectioners borrowed the recipe of merengue from the French. But before whipping proteins with sugar, they heat the mass to 50-70 degrees above the water bath. The Italians went even further and cook meringue based on proteins and sugar syrup

The ingredients
  • 100g protein
  • 200g sugar sand
  • 100 ml of water


Preparation
  1. In Sotheinika, we heat water, add sugar and, reducing the fire, boil the syrup. When the temperature of the liquid exceeds the boiling point of 20 degrees, remove the steak from the fire.

We suggest making a delicious merengue with nuts and chocolate chips.
