Lemon Italian Meringue

The Italian meringue is one of the most elegant and versatile preparations in the world of pastry. Its shiny, stable, and airy texture makes it the perfect base for mousses, cakes, decorations, or plated desserts. Traditional Italian meringue is prepared by whipping egg whites while slowly incorporating a hot syrup, which makes it firm, shiny, and perfect for decorating desserts.

In this version, we wanted to reinterpret this classic technique using Albuwhip, our specialized texturizer that replaces egg white. This innovative ingredient offers a superior whipping capacity, exceeding traditional egg white by more than 25%, achieving a greater volume and an even more stable structure. Furthermore, it eliminates the residual taste of egg, allowing the main aromas—in this case, that of fresh lemon—to express themselves with complete purity and balance.

The result is a light, stable meringue with a clean flavor and a silky texture that enhances the citrus freshness of the lemon. Perfect for covering a cake, serving as the base of a modern dessert, or lightly gratinating for a golden and aromatic finish.
