A Swiss meringue is a type of sugared egg white. Bring sugar water (1 to 1 ratio) up to a soft ball temp. In a mixer, beat whites slightly. Add sugar water while beating egg whites. Add cream of tartar to help with peaking.

What is French Meringue?

French Meringue is what most inexperienced cooks will just refer to as "meringue". It is made by whisking egg whites until soft peaks, then adding sugar a teaspoon at a time, whisking after each addition, until stiff peaks have been formed. This mixture is then baked in a cool temperature oven until hard on the outside but soft in the middle. There is also Italian meringue, which is really useful for desserts when the meringue is only briefly, or not at all cooked. For example, baked Alaska. Italian Meringue is made by whisking egg whites to soft peaks, then pouring on a solution of hot sugar syrup, which cooks the egg whites. Then you continue to whisk to stiff peaks / until the meringue is cold. There is also Swiss Meringue. This is made with the same method as French meringue, however most or all of the sugar will be swapped to icing sugar (but not in the same quantity; usually more icing sugar is required than caster sugar). This produces a very delicate meringue.

What happens when you put sugar in meringue?

A meringue is a mixture of stiffly beaten egg whites and granulated sugar (or sugar syrup) then cooked. Soft meringue is used as a swirled topping for pies, puddings and other desserts such as baked alaska. It's baked only until the peaks are nicely browned and the valleys golden. Hard meringues begin by being piped onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and rounded. They're then baked at a very low temperature (about 200°F) for as long as 2 hours and left in the turned-off oven until completely dry. Hard meringues often have a center depression that is filled with ice cream, custard, whipped cream and fruit.
