Steps:
- Prepare bain-marie: Place a saucepan that is large enough to hold stand mixer's mixing bowl (or large enough to hold another bowl if using a handheld mixer), over medium heat, filled with 1 inch (2,5 cm) water and bring the water to a simmer.
- Place the egg whites into the stand mixer's bowl( or into another bowl if using a handheld mixer). Add the sugar and mix with a whisk for almost 30 seconds before placing it over bain-marie.
- When the water simmers, reduce the heat to medium-low and put the mixing bowl over the saucepan. (The bottom of the bowl shouldn't touch the simmering water.) Whisk until the mixture reaches 160°F(71°C). If you are using temperature, make sure that the temperature doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl but the mixture as the bottom of the bowl can be hotter than the mixture. If you are not using a temperature, rub the mixture between your fingers. The sugar will be dissolved and the mixture will be hot. This step takes almost 3 minutes with 3 egg whites.
- Attach the mixing bowl and whisk attachment to the mixer if you are using a stand mixer.
- Start beating the mixture with low speed and gradually increase to medium-high. Almost in 5 minutes, the soft peaks will form. Beat almost for extra 7 minutes until the mixture is glossy and reaches to stiff peaks. The mixing bowl will be totally cool after beating. You can use this Swiss Meringue to top your tarts and use a torch to brown the meringue or bake at 350°F(177C°) until browned. You can also make meringue kisses or pastry shells-dry at low temperature.
FOOLPROOF SWISS MERINGUE
This is a super stable, delicious, easy-to-make Swiss meringue that's perfect as a base for Swiss meringue buttercream or as a topping for any pie you want to make! Because it's whipped over a bain-marie, it doesn't need to be baked - which makes it especially great for my favorite lemon icebox pie (I suggest trying that if you're into lemon meringue pie!). Precision is important, otherwise it's as foolproof as the title says. Hope you love it as much as I do.

Steps:
- Bring 2 cups of water to a simmer in a medium pot.
- Combine sugar, egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Reduce the heat of the pot and place the bowl over the steam. Whisk egg whites lightly until a digital or candy thermometer inserted into the mixture reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), 6 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat immediately.
- Place bowl back onto the stand mixer with a whisk attachment. Whisk on high speed until egg whites are cool and stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Mixture should hold peaks effortlessly and start balling up around the whisk attachment while appearing silky, shiny, and pure white.
- Use meringue immediately. It will hold its shape without separating for about a week in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment; trace six circles measuring 3 inches in diameter on each. Turn paper over so ink is face down.
- Place meringue in an 18-inch pastry bag fitted with a jumbo star tip (Ateco #824). Pipe meringue into disks filling the circles, starting at center and working outward in a spiral. Pipe two more layers around edge, forming a bowl.
- Bake 1 hour, until meringue is set and no longer tacky. Reduce heat to 175 degrees. Bake until meringue is completely dry and crisp but not at all brown, 1 hour or more. Remove from oven; store in an airtight container until ready to use, up to 2 days.
- Place jam in pan over low heat. Cook until liquid, about 5 minutes. Pass through fine strainer; discard solids. Place jam in an airtight container until ready to use.
- Using a small brush, lightly coat berries with egg white. Sprinkle with superfine sugar until well coated, shaking off excess.
- In bowl of electric mixer, whip cream to soft peaks. Add jam; fold in, using rubber spatula. Place meringue bowls in jumbo paper cupcake liners set on plates. Spoon plum mixture into meringues; top with berries and spun sugar. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Using a small knife, remove the pits from plums without cutting plums entirely in half. Place plums in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring stock syrup and bay leaves to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Immediately pour syrup over plums and let cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or parchment paper; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. With the mixer on low, slowly add superfine sugar; increase speed and continue whisking until firm peaks form. Add confectioners' sugar and beat until meringue is smooth and shiny and stiff peaks form, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Drain plums and pat dry with paper towels, removing as much syrup as possible. Gently fold plums into meringue mixture.
- Using two large spoons, scoop one-quarter of the meringue mixture and pass it between both spoons to form a rounded oval shape; transfer to prepared baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining meringue. Transfer to oven and bake for 2 hours.
- Cool meringues slightly on baking sheet; carefully transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely in a dry place before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper
- In a large grease-free mixing bowl beat the egg whites at a slow steady speed. When they are foamy add the cream of tartar. Gradually add the sugar. When the meringue begins to form soft peaks, increase to a moderate beating speed.
- Beat another 5-8 minutes, until the meringue is thick, but still glossy, and forms firm peaks when the beaters are lifted.
- Adhear the parchment paper to the cookie sheet with dots of meringue.
- Spoon the meringue into a piping bag fitted with desired tip. Keep designs simple as these pieces are delicate and will shatter easily. Bake small pieces about 15 minutes and thicker pieces 15-20 minutes.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1. Line a large baking sheet with baking paper. Blend together the cornflour, vinegar and vanilla to make a paste. Whisk the egg whites until they are stiff and glossy, then whisk in the sugar in three goes, adding a little paste and whisking back to firm peaks each time. Keep whisking until the meringue is thick and heavy.
- Spoon six meringue heaps onto the baking sheet, spaced apart, then shape into nests by making dips in the centres with the back of a spoon. Bake for 1 hr, then turn off the oven and leave to cool in the oven for a further hr.
