They can be made in different flavours such as vanilla, chocolate, strawberry or pistachio and topped with creams or fruit jams.

3. Meringues with toppings: Meringues are a sweet and light dessert that can be made with egg whites and sugar and can be enriched with a variety of toppings. Whip the egg whites until stiff and gradually add the sugar until you have a shiny mixture.

Mix them with sugar, flour and other ingredients of your choice and bake until golden brown. Try adding extras such as lemon zest, cinnamon or nuts for an even richer flavour.
