SnackShots #5: Meringue

Crunchy, crispy, soft, sticky and sweet. These are just a few words that come to mind when I think of meringues. With summer in full swing in the northern hemisphere we are looking for some light and refreshing desserts and what better way to celebrate the season than with meringues. If you don’t know how to make meringues or are ill-equipped, don’t despair. You may buy them from your local shop or bakery and continue preparing your favourite dessert or simply just admire them in their simple form. To give you a few ideas on how to use meringue: Floating Islands, Lemon Meringue Pie, Pavlova, Baked Alaska and Eton Mess.
