Part 4/7:
Step 3: Crafting the Fluffy Merengue
After preparing the banana and vanilla layers, it’s time to tackle the merengue, which is achieved using the egg whites from earlier. Lorena employs a water bath method to ensure gentle cooking, gradually adding sugar and a touch of vanilla essence.
The key to a perfect merengue lies in beating the mixture until it achieves stiff peaks and all sugar granules have dissolved. This airy topping will create a beautiful contrast against the dense banana and cream layers.
Assembling the Dessert
With each element prepared, Lorena guides viewers through the assembly process. She begins by layering the sweet banana mixture into a serving dish, followed by the creamy vanilla layer, and finishes with a generous dollop of fluffy merengue.
