- Stop when the egg whites form peaks with tips that curl over when the whisk is lifted.
- Blend at low speed.

- Turn over the mold immediately and let cool on a bottle, or something stable.
- When it's slightly cooled, cover with a plastic bag to avoid drying up.
- Remove from mold when it's completely cooled down.
