Meringue Recipe
Preheat oven at 100C
3egg whites at room temp
175g caster sugar
50g icing sugar sifted
Cream chantilly
200ml double cream
1tbs caster sugar
5ml vanilla chambord (or vanilla extract will do)
Sponge
1 shop bought lemon sponge (creams and fillings sliced out/removed) (I make my own sponge). You
only need one half of the cake so you are better of making your own to avoid waste.
Whisk the egg yolks till they foam soft peaks
Gradually add the caster sugar whilst whisking at the same time 1tbs at a time)
When all sugar has been added, add the icing sugar and whisk
(I have now decided to add both sugars prior to whisking as this not only saves time but also minimises the chances of over whisking my meringues).Place meringue into a piping bag fitted with a 0.5cm nozzle
Cut the sponge into rectangles (size of choice) and divide each rectangle into two (lengthwise)
Pipe the meringue onto the cakes and bake in oven for 20minutes
When meringue is ready, allow to cool on cooling rack until you are ready to use.
Add cream, sugar and (vanilla extract or chambord) and whip until just firm
Pipe or scoop the cream onto the meringue, decorate with fruits and drizzle some berry coulis if you have some.
Enjoy
