For those who struggle with meringue, be sure you get absolutely NO egg yolk, shell or fat in the bowl. If you're using a stand mixer that lives out on your counter, wash and thoroughly dry the bowl and whipping attachment before embarking on this dessert. Believe me, if so much as one speck of bacon grease has wafted across the room and taken roost in your mixing bowl, your egg whites won't whip. Oh yes, and don't even think about doing this on a humid day. Other than that? It's an easy, crowd-pleasing dessert.
