Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Egg whites
Whipped into foam to form the airy structure that holds the meringues together.
Sugar
Stabilizes the whipped whites and helps them turn glossy and golden as they bake.
Cereal
Adds crunch and texture to the meringue once folded in and baked.
Semisweet chocolate chips
Add melted sweetness and richness in pockets throughout the baked meringue.

The step that matters

Beating the whites to stiff, glossy peaks. Egg white foam holds air only when whites are beaten until very stiff. Under-beaten whites collapse and spread, while over-beaten whites turn dry and grainy, so the meringues lose their light structure.
