Basic Meringue Recipe

Basic Meringue

It's now so easy to make meringue using the Vitamix aeration container. Be sure to follow the directions exactly, though, especially the part about bringing the egg whites to room temperature. That's the key to success in this recipe.

Ingredients

6 large 175 ml egg whites, at room temperature
1 pinch 1 pinch cream of tartar
¼ cup 50 g sugar, superfine

1. Place room-temperature egg whites and cream of tartar into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
2. Select the lowest setting. Start the machine and quickly increase to Variable 7.
3. After about 15 seconds and as soon as you start seeing egg white cling to the sides of the container, remove the lid plug and start adding in the superfine sugar through the lid plug opening in a steady stream for about 15 to 20 seconds. Don't over process or the egg whites will start to break down.
