Almond meringues with strawberry cream

This recipe is perfect for special occasions or a light, refreshing treat after a meal.

Ingredients:

2 egg whites
63g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
2 tbsp almonds
30g
2 cups strawberries
320g
1 cup light sour cream
230g

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the Meringue:
- In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat 2 egg whites until soft peaks form using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Gradually add the 1/2 cup sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites. Keep beating until the mixture is glossy and stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in the finely chopped almonds into the meringue mixture using a spatula.
3. Shape and Bake the Meringues:
- Dollop or pipe the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, creating small mounds or nests, each about 2-3 inches in diameter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the meringues are crisp and can easily lift off the parchment paper.
- Once done, turn off the oven and let the meringues cool inside the oven with the door slightly ajar. This will help them cool gradually and prevent cracking.
4. Prepare the Strawberry Cream:
- While the meringues are cooling, prepare the strawberry cream.
- In a bowl, combine the 2 cups of hulled and sliced strawberries with 1 cup of light sour cream.
- Gently mash the strawberries with a fork or a masher, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Stir until well combined, creating a luscious strawberry cream.
5. Assemble and Serve:
- Once the meringues have fully cooled, carefully remove them from the baking sheet.
- Spoon a generous dollop of the strawberry cream onto each meringue.
- Optionally, garnish with extra chopped almonds or a few fresh strawberry slices.
6. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy these delicious almond meringues with refreshing strawberry cream!

Tips:

- Ensure the egg whites are at room temperature before whipping them. This will help them achieve maximum volume.

- Add the sugar gradually while beating the egg whites to help stabilize the meringue and create a glossy finish.

- Finely chop the almonds before folding them into the meringue mixture to ensure an even distribution.

- Bake the meringue at a low temperature to allow them to dry out and become crisp without browning too much.

- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the cream to enhance the flavor and sweetness. Crush them slightly to blend well with the sour cream.

- Assemble the meringues with strawberry cream just before serving to keep the meringues crisp. You can prepare the components in advance and store them separately.

Enjoy your homemade almond meringues with strawberry cream as a perfect finale to any meal. The light and airy meringues accompanied by the creamy strawberry filling create a delightful contrast in both texture and flavor. This elegant dessert is sure to be a hit with family and friends.
