Fruit meringue & additional meringue tips:
To make a fruit meringue, you can replace the water in the syrup with strained fruit purée. This works with acidic fruits, such as raspberry, lemon, or passion fruit, as the
acidity helps the meringue whip up and stabilize properly.
Sweeter fruits, such as mango or strawberry, will need part of the liquid to be lemon juice in order for the meringue to whip up and stabilize properly. The exact amount
depends on the fruit purée, so keep the total liquid amount the same and test before making a full batch.
Tips:
• Whip the egg whites to soft peaks before adding the syrup. They should be structured but not stiff or dry.
• Heat the syrup to 118°C / 244°F for the most stable meringue. If it’s too cold, the meringue may be unstable; if too hot, it can become grainy.
• Pour the hot syrup slowly down the side of the bowl, not directly onto the whisk, to avoid splashing, sugar threads, or lumps.
• Keep whisking until the meringue is firm, glossy, fluffy, cooled down, and holds stiff peaks. If it is still warm or soft, continue whisking.
