Ingredients
Units
- 4 egg whites
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup of wine (any variety that you drink and like works)
- 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts (browned in the pan if you like)
Instructions
- Prepare a Bain Marie: Put 2 cm of water in a big pot and bring to a boil. Place a bowl on top and lower the heat to a minimum so the water boils gently. The bowl must not touch the water, just the steam.
- Place the ingredients in a bowl, except for the nuts, and beat first at low speed with a whisk until the sugar is dissolved (test by rubbing the mix between your fingers) and then at high speed until it forms hard peaks.
- Remove the bowl (carefully, it will be hot) from the Bain Marie and keep beating on the counter at high speed until the mix cools.
- Serve immediately sprinkled with nuts or distribute in individual bowls and refrigerate.
- If you make them ahead of time, do not add the nuts, and give it a quick whisk before serving.
