What is the secret to meringue?
Adding 1/8 of a teaspoon of cream of tartar for every egg white before beating, for the strongest and most stable meringue. As it is an acid that stabilizers the egg white. Alternatively you can use lemon juice if you do not have cream of tartar. Use 1/2 teaspoon for every egg white before beating. That the secret ingredient.

Instructions

- Take your freeze dried strawberries ( or Raspberries) and place in a blender until they are a fine powder. then measure and add to your sugar and set aside.
- Obtain your clean and dry mixer bowl, and add your room temperature egg whites and cream of tartar and salt. Blend the egg whites on medium until the mixture becomes frothy then place the mixer on high and blend until it becomes firm, and doubles its size.
- Add one tablespoon at a time to this mixture while still blending at a high speed until smooth. (adding the sugar slowly will not allow the whisked egg whites to become soft) Continue whisking until soft peaks form.
