Continue to whisk, gently heating the egg white mixture. Cook for about 5 to ⏱️ 10 minutes until the sugar is dissolved. Test this out by rubbing a small amount of the egg white mixture between two fingers. If it is smooth and not grainy, it is ready.

Transfer the bowl or mixture to a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. You can also use an electric hand mixer.
4
