3. To make the meringue dense and prevent it from spreading, I recommend preparing it over a water bath. Place a small pot with water (one cup of water is enough) on the stove and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to minimum. Put the egg whites with sugar on top and whisk continuously until the sugar dissolves.

4. Remove the egg whites from the bain-marie and continue beating with a mixer, starting at medium speed. As soon as large bubbles appear, you can increase the speed and beat the meringue until stiff peaks form.
