Cream
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Meringue mixture is simply well-beaten egg whites with sugar and lemon acid. Why don't they make meringue from it? They do. Only regular meringue is baked, while this wet meringue needs to be heated over a water bath while continuously whisking with a mixer. The key point is that the egg whites rise very well when heated. Never stop the mixer until you remove the mixture from the heat. The ready dessert can be served immediately.

Step 1
Take the eggs out of the refrigerator. Get a dry metal, or better yet, glass container. And, of course, a mixer. Crack the eggs, carefully separating the whites from the yolks. Set the yolks aside for other uses. We'll be working exclusively with the egg whites.

Step 2
Now we need a mixer. All utensils and equipment must be completely dry, otherwise it will be impossible to beat the egg whites properly. Beat the egg whites with a mixer until they form a white foam.

Step 3
Slowly start adding the sugar, continuing to whisk. Then add a pinch of citric acid. Whisk for another minute. Meanwhile, a saucepan with water should already be on the stove. We will make soft meringue using a double boiler.

Step 4
So, place the saucepan with egg whites on the stove and set it over a water bath. The water in the pot should be boiling. Position the saucepan with the egg whites so that its bottom barely touches the water. Beat the egg whites at medium speed.

Step 5
When the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture becomes uniform, switch to the highest speed. The egg whites will increase significantly in volume. Beat for a long time, no less than 10 minutes. Then remove the pot from the stove and continue beating for another 3 minutes. The white mass should wrap tightly around the mixer and stick to it.

Step 6
The cream turns out to be stable, elastic, and bright white. You can shape it into anything you like. If you intend to use it as a cream, start spreading it immediately, otherwise it will set later. You can put it into a bag with a hole and squeeze out various shapes. They will then harden like marshmallows. Also, by adding food coloring, you can create colorful decorations!
