Critical Success Points

  • Do not let the cream boil during infusion (step 2).
  • Precisely reach 118 °C with the honey‑glucose syrup (step 6).
  • Pour the hot syrup in a continuous stream onto the whites at 3/4 stiffness (step 8).
  • Smooth the meringue before it begins to set (step 10).

Safety Warnings

  • The honey syrup exceeds 110 °C; handle with care to avoid burns.
  • Always use a reliable kitchen thermometer for the 118 °C point.
  • Egg whites must be at room temperature to whip properly.
