In Brazil, Esther prepares this meringue with the amazonian fruit cupuaçu, which is only available locally. Esther shared her recipe for the meringue using orange marmalade which is available globally, instead of cupuaçu.
Whip up the egg whites to soft peaks in a stand mixer.
Place the sugar and water in a pot over medium high heat. Dissolve and cook the mixture until it reads 240 degrees on a thermometer.
Mix the egg whites over medium speed and very slowly drizzle the hot sugar mixture into the egg whites. Continue mixing until the meringue reaches stiff peaks.
Transfer the meringue into a large bowl and add 2 tablespoons of the marmalade. Fold the marmalade into the meringue a few times to create orange streaks. Place the mixture into a large serving bowl and top with the remaining 4 tablespoons of marmalade.
Seal the meringue with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. Serve cold.
