Delicious Divinity Recipe - Easy Mediterranean Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
48
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 large egg whites (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Sugar Syrup

    In a saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil.

    Use a candy thermometer to ensure the syrup reaches 240°F (soft-ball stage).
  2. Whip the Egg Whites

    In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.

    Make sure no yolk gets into the egg whites for best results.
  3. Combine Syrup and Egg Whites

    Once the syrup reaches the desired temperature, carefully pour it into the whipped egg whites while continuing to beat on high speed.

    Pour the syrup slowly to avoid cooking the egg whites.
  4. Add Vanilla

    Continue beating the mixture until it thickens and holds stiff peaks. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

    This can take about 10 minutes of beating.
  5. Shape the Divinity

    Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto waxed paper or a silicone mat. If desired, sprinkle with chopped nuts.

    Work quickly as the mixture will start to set.
