Just remember: the earlier the sugar is added in the course of beating, the firmer and finertextured the meringue Sugar folded in after the beating stops will soften the texture Cooked Meringues Cooked meringues are more trouble to make than uncooked meringues, and are generally denser because heat sets the albumen proteins and ... host of methods that call for adding certain portions of the sugar along the way There’s plenty of latitude in meringue making!
