Ingredients
- 4 egg whites
- 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 cup superfine sugar (caster sugar, berry sugar, or regular sugar blitzed in a food processor until grains are half their )
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fruit, sliced (kiwifruit, berries, peaches, etc.)
- 1 1/2 cups lightly sweetened whipped cream (just add sugar to it, to taste)
Method
- Preheat oven to 400°F Line a shallow baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large dry bowl, sprinkle cream of tartar over egg whites and beat until stiff. Whisk together sugar and cornstarch. Add the mixture to the egg whites a tablespoon at a time, while beating on medium speed, until all ingredients are combined. The meringue should be shiny, white, and stiff. Fold in vanilla extract.
- Reduce oven heat to 200°F Mound the meringue on the baking sheet in a round shape about 6 inches in diameter. Bake for 1 hour. Turn off oven, leaving meringue in the oven until it is cold or overnight.
- Top with whipped cream and arrange fruit over top.
- Use a serrated knife to gently saw slices. It is best to eat when first made but you can store leftovers in a covered container.
