Today my group made macaroons and even though we didn’t get to bake them they were really good. To make them we had to whip egg whites into a meringue. A meringue is when egg whites are whipped with sugar until they stiffen and make almost like a frosting. I was really excited to make this because I tried once before to make meringue but I didn’t know what to do with it. I made a meringue then and added clove, cinnamon and nutmeg then put it in the oven to toast. If you do this they taste like marshmallows and it’s really good. This weekend I think that I’m going to try and recreate the macaroons and this time I’ll be able to taste them cooked not raw like in class.
After class, I looked up more recipes that involve meringue and one that I really wanted to try is Baked Alaska. It’s an old dessert that was really expensive but it stopped being popular because everyone did it. Baked Alaska is cake with a scope of ice cream on it then meringue piped over the whole thing. To finish you take a torch and toast the whole thing, the tricky part is that if you don’t cover the whole thing then the ice cream melts and it is supposed to stay cold. This is a recipe I really want to make but I don’t think that my family would enjoy it and thatll be a lot of work.
