meringue
Airy baked sweetness
Meringue is a light, airy confection made from whipped egg whites and sugar, baked until crisp on the outside and soft within.
It appears as a topping on pies—especially lemon meringue—or shaped into cookies and shells for desserts like pavlova.
The texture ranges from marshmallow-soft to shatteringly crisp depending on preparation.
