About Merengue topping

Merengue topping is a light, fluffy dessert garnish made primarily from whipped egg whites and sugar. Originating from European cuisine, particularly French and Swiss traditions, it is often used to adorn pies, tarts, and cakes. The process of whipping incorporates air, giving it its signature airy texture. While low in fat, merengue topping is high in sugar, which contributes to its sweet flavor but also makes it calorie-dense. It contains protein from the egg whites, yet minimal other nutrients, so it is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Variations may include flavoring with vanilla extract, citrus zest, or even a touch of cream of tartar for enhanced stability. Though not inherently a health food, its light nature makes it a popular choice for adding sweetness without the heaviness of butter or cream-based toppings.
