(your meringue was overworked, maybe you already knew but in case you didn't that's why it didn't turn out).
No, the meringue wasn't overworked. It never came to stiff peaks. I beat it by hand and I don't think I did it enough. I also don't think I cooked it over the double boiler long enough to stabilize it.
