    It’s very annoying when you spend hours searching the web for a nice new recipe and you are excited to find one that sounds perfect,, only to realise halfway through making it that this is not possibly going to work. How can one fold a meringue in to a thick, doughy paste? It’s just impossible! I added extra soy milk to try and thin out the mix . When I proceeded to add the thick, glossy meringue, it disintegrated into thin bubbles. I challenge anyone to be able to make this recipe successfully. By the way, I am an experienced home baker.

      We’re sorry you had a disappointing experience with making this recipe. We’ll contact Minako, the creator of this recipe to see if she has any tips to share regarding preventing the meringue from disintegrating when adding it to the rest of the mixture.
