There are three types of meringues, the French, the Swiss and the Italian. All have two essential ingredients in common, egg whites and sugar. In the three recipes, two granulated sugars parts (by weight) are used for each egg white part. It is very important to keep in mind for the optimal final result of the recipe we must measure the eggs and the sugar in weight not in volume, the size of the eggs is always different and for that reason the weight of the egg whites is not going to be itself.
Today I am going to share with you a meringue recipe with some variations, I added ingredients to give them a touch of flavor and color that adapt and integrate perfectly into the preparation achieving a perfect and decorative final result. I prepare them in pink in a bigger size to make them stuffed for Valentine's Day.
