If we want to give a shiny touch, sprinkle it with powdered sugar and let it rest for about 10 minutes before take it to the oven

SWISS MERINGUE

Place all the ingredients in the bowl and beat them manually on bain-Marie.
When the temperature reaches between 135F and 140F It would be ready to take it to the mixer, or when introducing the little finger on the surface we notice a strong heat.
Remove the bowl from the Bain Marie, and take it to mixer at medium-high speed until the bowl gets to room temperature.
