Meringue… airy, very light dessert that is crispy on the outside and slightly chewy and soft on the inside. It can be eaten by itself or added to complete a dessert recipe.

There are so many amazing dessert recipes that involve meringue.

It is very easy to make meringue. In this quick tutorial video, I will share with you my 10 tips to successfully make the perfect meringue every time! These are simple to follow and you will be more inclined to make those beautiful dessert recipes listed above.
 
Here are the ingredients to make the perfect meringue…
