FAQ:
Q: Can I make the meringue ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can bake the meringue a day in advance and store it in an airtight container at room temperature. Assemble just before serving.

Q: Can I use granulated sugar instead of superfine sugar?
A: Yes, but process the granulated sugar in a blender or food processor to make it finer for a smoother meringue.
