How to cook Meringue Kisses

There are conflicting claims about the origin of Meringue. Some say that it came from the Swiss village of Meiringen and was later improved by Italian chef Gasparini in the 18th Century. However, there are those who say that it was conceived from France, as written in Francois Massialot’s 1692 cookbook. But despite the varying stories of its history, one thing is for sure: the Meringue is a delectable snack especially for those with a sweet tooth.

Based on the facts above, there are three types of this tasty treat: French, Swiss, and Italian. But despite the differences in preparation, only one word will come out of your mouth: delicious (or the French, Swiss or Italian equivalent of it). Also, this recipe is fat-free because the egg whites collapse when the batter is baked. Therefore, any small amount of fat in there is eliminated. Meringue is a good source of carbohydrates too due to its sugar content.
