meringue

In French, 'meringue' refers to a sweet mixture made from whipped egg whites and sugar, often used as a topping for desserts or baked into cookies. It is a staple in French patisserie and can be found in many classic desserts like 'tarte au citron' (lemon tart) and pavlova. The texture is light and airy, which makes it a popular choice for adding a delicate finish to various sweets.
