French Meringue is a type of meringue made from whipped egg whites and granulated sugar. It is known for its light, airy texture and is often used as a base for desserts like Pavlova or as a topping for pies, such as lemon meringue pie. The process involves beating egg whites until they form soft peaks, then gradually adding sugar until the mixture becomes glossy and stiff.
This meringue is typically baked at a low temperature, allowing it to dry out and become crisp on the outside while remaining soft inside. It is one of the simplest forms of meringue, making it a popular choice for both novice and experienced bakers.
