Three effortless meringue desserts for peak-season fruit.

Meringue is like a magic trick in the kitchen. With just egg whites and sugar, you can whip up something light, crisp and cloudlike. It’s a dessert that feels both delicate and rich, structured but fleeting and always a bit showy.

Maybe the best thing about meringue is how easily it pairs with other foods. In summer, when fruit is at its juiciest and most fragrant, meringue is the perfect match. It doesn’t need much; it just adds a gentle sweetness and a bit of crunch, letting the fruit shine.
