Ingredients

• 4 large Egg whites
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 4 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Separate the egg whites from the yolks, ensuring no yolk contaminates the whites. Reserve the yolks for another recipe if desired.

Step 2

In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and salt using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.

Step 3

Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites. Beat until the mixture is glossy and forms stiff peaks.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium-low heat until it begins to steam but does not boil.

Step 5

Using two spoons, scoop and shape the meringue mixture into oval 'snowballs' (quenelles) and gently drop them into the steaming milk. Cook each snowball for about 1-2 minutes on each side, ensuring they are cooked through but still tender. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to form a slurry.

Step 7

Stir the cornstarch slurry and vanilla extract into the hot milk, whisking constantly, and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 8

Taste the milk mixture and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding a little more sugar.

Step 9

To serve, ladle the warm milk broth into bowls and gently float the cooked meringue snowballs on top.

Step 10

Dust with powdered sugar for a snowy effect and serve immediately. Enjoy your whimsical Snowball Soup!
