Notes
- Egg whites: If you want the perfect meringue, the eggs must form accurate soft and stiff peaks. Scroll up to see our expert tips for getting the ideal texture every time.
- Temperature matters: The eggs and mascarpone must be at room temperature for perfect results, while the heavy cream is cold.
- Rolling: For the meringue to not crack when rolling, you want to make sure you roll it while it is still slightly warm.
