Italian Meringue
Makes one mile high meringue pie or two (2) 9-inch regular pies
INGREDIENTS
6 large egg whites
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
1 pinch salt
METHOD
1 Place the egg whites in the mixer bowl, making sure bowl is dry
and clean. Attach the wire whisk to mixer.
2 In a small saucepan with a candy thermometer attached, heat the
sugar and water to 210°. Meanwhile, turn the stand mixer on speed
3 and start whipping egg whites. When the egg whites are almost at
soft peaks, add the pinch of salt. Continue to heat sugar and water
to 240°. This is soft ball candy stage.
3 With mixer still on, carefully pour the hot sugar liquid into egg
whites. Go slow and be consistent.
4 After all sugar mixture is added, increase to speed 4 and beat until
the stainless bowl is cool to touch, about 5 minutes.
5 Scrape meringue onto pie quickly. (Once the meringue sets up, it
becomes hard to work with. If this happens, just put back into mixer
and whip until stiff peaks form again.)
SERVING SUGGESTION
This meringue sets up perfectly and never weeps. The quantity here will
do one enormous “mile-high” pie, or two average. This also works great
for a Baked Alaska.
