No-Bake Stovetop Meringue
No-Bake Stovetop Meringue whips into a billowy, glossy topping with a creamy texture and superb stability. The hot syrup gives it a smooth, marshmallow-like bite that holds up beautifully on pies, parfaits, and layered desserts. Serve it when you want a polished finish that won’t weep, especially for lemon, chocolate, or banana cream pies.
