Directions
- 1
Combine water and fructose in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook without stirring until the syrup thickens and turns light amber, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- 2
In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff, glossy peaks form. Slowly pour in the hot syrup in a thin, steady stream while beating continuously at high speed with an electric mixer.
- 3
Add the vanilla extract and continue whisking for 3 to 5 minutes until the mixture is firm, silky, and slightly cooled.

Pipe onto parchment paper or pour into a lightly oiled mold. Allow to set at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
💡 Chef's Tip
Dust with powdered sugar before serving to prevent sticking. For a firmer texture, refrigerate for 1 hour. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
