meringue
Meringue is a type of dessert or sweet treat typically made from whipped egg whites and sugar. It can also often include ingredients such as cream of tartar or vinegar to provide stability and sometimes flavorings like vanilla. The whipping process incorporates air into the mixture creating a light, airy texture that can be crisp or soft depending on how it's cooked. Meringue is often used as a topping for pies and pastries, or baked separately to form shells or cookies.
Webster Dictionary

Meringue
Meringue, is a type of dessert, often associated with Swiss and French cuisine, made from whipped egg whites and sugar, and occasionally an acid such as cream of tartar or a small amount of vinegar. A binding agent such as cornstarch or gelatin may also be added. The addition of powdered sugar, which usually contains corn starch, to the uncooked meringue produces a pavlova, a national dish of Australia and New Zealand. The key to the formation of a good meringue is the formation of stiff peaks formed by denaturing the protein ovalbumin via mechanical shear. Meringues are often flavoured with vanilla and a small amount of almond or coconut extract, although if these extracts are based on an oil infusion, an excess of fat from the oil may inhibit the egg whites from forming a foam. They are light, airy and sweet confections. Homemade meringues are often chewy and soft with a crisp exterior, although a uniform crisp texture may be achieved at home, whilst commercial meringues are crisp throughout.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Meringue
me-rang′, n. a mixture of sugar and white of eggs slightly browned for garnishing other confections: a pudding or tart covered with this.—Meringue glacé, ice-cream with a casing of meringue. [Fr., prob. from Mehringen.]
