Ingredients should be well chilled before starting to mix.

nutmeg. Stir in coffee, half & half, and milk. In a separate
clean, chilled bowl, beat 3 egg whites on medium speed, gradually
adding in sugar until soft peaks form. Do not over mix. Set
aside about 1/2 cup of the meringue and fold remainder into
