It is so funny to me that people rate a perfect recipe unfairly becaue they tried to "bake" a recipe that says UNBAKED meringue!!! It is perfect, just what I needed Saundra!! FYI the other meringue recipe by Saundra called Meringue II on this site is the best ever for baking :)
Always used the egg whites beaten and then add in sugar. Sometimes it would turn out great sometimes not. Tried this recipe and WOW! I have put it in my book of "must have time savers!" I would get frustrated with the "old" method but this recipe was SO easy the flavor was the same as the "old" method and the peaks I got? WOW!! Look out Rockie Mountains!! FYI this recipe made more than enough meringue to cover 6 of the mini-crusts made by Keebler; imagine it would easily cover (1) 8 or 9-inch pie.
The meringue was beautiful until it was baked. I would not bake this meringue because it weeped so badly that the pie crust was soaked.
I've never made meringue before so I wanted something that seemed foolproof. Since my pie did not need baking I heeded the comments of the others and did not bake this meringue. It turned out wonderfully delicious with fairly good peaks (I think I merely failed to beat it long enough but I will beat them longer next time). It was absolutely delicious (and wonderfully easy)!!
Just made this to top a chocolate cream pie. My first all home made pie. Made a crust from here which came out amazingly light and flakey made chocolate filling from here came out wonderfully smooth and yummy. And this meringue to top it off. It came out fluffy but firm and just sweet enough to compliment the chocolate. Thank you! PS - if it isn't peaking keep whipping it'll get there!
Just made this meringue to top my lemon pies after TWO failed prior attempts. Love love love it! It was easy fast and turned out lovely shiney nice peaks and it's not too sweet. I even browned it after for color this will be my go to recipe for meringue from now on!
Great!!! I have tried the old method and like the other reviewer have had good and bad luck.. This was easy and turned out great. Just keep beating it takes a while but it is worth it in the end!!!
I will admit this is delicious but not a substitute for regular meringue. It is very sweet and more like marshmallow fluff than meringue.
I've always been afraid to attempt meringue but this was really easy and perfect. Lush dense glossy meringue that's holding its shape very well. Lovely!
