Meringue Snowmen

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Necessary products.

2. STEP 2

   

   Separate the whites from the yolks.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add sugar. The ratio of protein and sugar should be 1:2, i.e. There is twice as much sugar by weight as protein.

4. STEP 4

   

   Mix the whites with sugar with a whisk and place in a steam bath. Stir the mixture with a whisk all the time for 5 minutes until the sugar crystals disappear.

5. STEP 5

   

   The protein mixture will have a temperature of about 60 degrees. Beat the meringue with a mixer.

6. STEP 6

   

   Beat the meringue until it cools and acquires a dense consistency, white color, gloss, and the grooves from the mixer remain clear. About halfway through the beating process, add lemon juice.

7. STEP 7

   

   Divide the meringue into three parts - leave one part white, tint the second with a small amount of blue gel dye, and the third - tint a little more to obtain a deeper blue color.
