“I just made this last night and enjoyed it every much, I did follow the advice of chia to cook at 300 for 40 minutes too because of the eggs, but it was perfect, thanks so much”
“this was very good and the meringue turned out perfectly. the only change was that i baked it for 40 minutes at 300, i wanted to make sure that all those eggs wwere cooked. first time i’ve made really good thick meringue in ages, i used my kitchenaid to mix it.”
