I want to use an Italian meringue in mousse and buttercream recipes, so I've been practicing.

If you don't whisk the eggs up firmly enough then you will get a runny meringue. Recipe by achapimam

Ingredients

  1. 1 mediumEgg white
  2. 1few drops Lemon juice
  3. 20 gramsWater
  4. 60 gramsSugar

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Add a few drops of lemon juice to the egg whites (this will help the meringue firm up).

  2. 2

    Add some water to a pan followed by the sugar and heat over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Once the mixture starts to bubble a little, start to whisk the egg whites.

  4. 4

    Whisk with a hand mixer on a high speed until the mixer leaves a trail in the meringue. Time your whisking to coincide with the boiling of the syrup mixture. Don't stop whisking though.

  5. 5

    Once the syrup reaches 118℃, remove from the heat and dribble into the mixture in thin threads.

  6. 6

    Dribble it in so that it falls between to the 2 blades of the mixer, which should be set to a medium-high speed.

  7. 7

    Once the syrup is in, keep whisking on a high speed until the mixture cools down.

  8. 8

    Once the bottom of the bowl reaches body temperature, it's ready. The peaks of the meringue should hang down a little bit at this point.

  9. 9

    Add the meringue to mousse or if you have some left over, pipe onto a baking tray and bake for 1 hour at 100℃ to get baked meringue.

  10. 10

    For buttercream: Add 50 g unsalted butter to 30 g meringue It can be used for macarons and such.
