No reviews

A very old traditional Chilean dessert.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8

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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
