Making the perfect meringue in the Thermomix is SO easy! But there are a few little tricks to getting it just right…
First of all you need to make sure that your bowl is completely clean and dry before adding in the eggs. This is a must! Secondly, adding a pinch of cream of tartar will stabilise your egg whites – which means perfect meringues are coming your way. And finally, it’s really important to add your sugar bit by bit – this will allow the egg whites to slowly combine them into the meringue.
You can use this meringue recipe for all sorts of yummy desserts – lemon meringue pie, lemon meringue cupcakes, chocolate meringue pie… or of course for simply baking delicious plain meringues in the oven!

Hi Lisa, the cooking time depends on whether you’re using the meringue to make one large dessert (ie. pavlova/lemon meringue pie) or mini desserts. Here’s a couple of recipes that will help you with the cooking times and temps. xx
