Light, delicious, and fat-free! What could be better? Meringue is a cloudlike mixture made by beating sugar into stiffly beaten egg whites. Soft meringues are shiny and tender and used to top puddings and pies or to lighten batters or decorate cakes. Hard meringues, like in this recipe, get baked low and slow in the oven to dry them out so that they hold their shape as cookies or meringue shells. Humidity can play a factor in the meringues’ crispness, so it’s best not to make them on a rainy or humid day. Berries and a sweet custard sauce turn light airy meringues into an elegant dessert.
