Ingredients

• 4 large Egg whites
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Cream of tartar
• 120 grams Marshmallow cream (or marshmallow fluff)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if planning to bake and lightly toast your meringue. Alternatively, have a kitchen torch ready if you’ll be torching the meringue as a topping.

Step 2

Ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of grease. This is essential for achieving stiff peaks with the egg whites.

Step 3

In the mixing bowl, add the egg whites and cream of tartar. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is foamy and begins to hold soft peaks.

Step 4

Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture at medium-high speed. Ensure the sugar dissolves completely as you add it.

Step 5

Once all the sugar is incorporated, increase the speed to high and beat until the meringue forms stiff, glossy peaks. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Add the vanilla extract and the marshmallow cream to the meringue. Beat at low speed until just combined, ensuring the consistency remains fluffy.

Step 7

Use the meringue immediately as a topping for pies, cakes, or other desserts. Spread in decorative peaks and swirls using an offset spatula or piping bag.

Step 8

For a toasted look, bake the meringue-topped dessert for about 8-10 minutes until lightly golden or use a kitchen torch to caramelize the peaks. Watch closely to avoid burning.

Step 9

Serve the Marshmallow Cream Meringue-topped dessert immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Note that meringue is best consumed fresh for optimal texture.
