Ingredients

  • 4 Egg whites
  • 100 grams Powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Vinegar (or wine vinegar)
  • 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
  • 1 few drops Vanilla oil
  • 1/2 pack Heavy cream
  • 1 Your favorite fruit (strawberries, kiwis, peaches, bananas, etc)

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 160C.
  • In the meantime, prepare the meringue.
  • Put the egg whites in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer.
  • When all the liquid turns to foam, add half of the powdered sugar and continue to beat.
  • Gradually add the remaining powdered sugar a little at a time and beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Once it becomes a proper meringue, gently fold in the cornstarch, vinegar, granulated sugar, and vanilla oil.
  • Shape the meringue into a round cake atop a baking sheet.
  • It will deflate about 2 cm when baking, so adjust the height accordingly.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 130C, then bake on the lowest rack for about 75 minutes.
  • Once baked, keep it in the oven to cool.
  • Once completely cooled, coat with whipped heavy cream and top with your choice of fruit.
  • The meringue is sweet, so you don't need to add any sugar to the heavy cream!
  • This is a cross-section.
  • The inside is fluffy, like a marshmallow, and the outside is crispy and has a caramel flavor.
  • It's best with some sour fruit.
  • It's also great with bananas and kiwis.
