Strawberry meringues

Strawberry meringues are a delightful and light dessert that combines the crispiness of meringue with the sweetness of strawberries and white chocolate. This dessert is perfect for any occasion and will surely impress your guests with its delicate flavor and beautiful presentation.

Ingredients:

2 egg whites
63g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1/2 cup white chocolate
120g
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
120g
3 cups strawberries
480g
1 tsp powdered sugar
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the Meringues:
- Beat Egg Whites: In a clean mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites using an electric mixer on medium speed until frothy.
- Add Sugar Gradually: Increase the speed to high and slowly add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time. Continue to beat until the mixture forms stiff, glossy peaks.
- Incorporate Vanilla Extract: Gently fold in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Pipe or Spoon Meringue: Spoon or pipe the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small nests or dollops, depending on your preference.
3. Bake the Meringues:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 1.5 hours. The meringues should be dry and crisp to the touch.
- Once baked, turn off the oven and let the meringues cool completely in the oven with the door slightly open. This helps prevent cracking.
4. Prepare the White Chocolate Cream:
- Melt White Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, microwave the white chocolate in 15-20 second intervals, stirring each time until melted. Be careful not to overheat.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
- Combine: Gently fold the melted white chocolate into the whipped cream until well combined.
5. Prepare the Strawberries:
- Rinse and hull the strawberries. Slice them if desired.
- Toss the strawberries in 1 tsp of powdered sugar to enhance their natural sweetness.
6. Assemble the Strawberry Meringues:
- Place a meringue nest or dollop on a serving plate.
- Top with a generous spoonful of the white chocolate cream.
- Add a few strawberries on top of the cream.
7. Serve: Enjoy your strawberry meringues immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Tips:

- Ensure that your mixing bowl and whisk are completely clean and dry before whipping the egg whites. Any grease or moisture can prevent the egg whites from reaching full volume.

- Use room temperature egg whites for better volume and stability.

- Add the sugar gradually to the egg whites to ensure it dissolves completely, resulting in a smooth and glossy meringue.

- Gently fold in the vanilla extract to avoid deflating the whipped egg whites.

- Melt the white chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts to avoid burning it.

- Make sure the strawberries are completely dry after washing them to prevent excess moisture in the dessert.

- Use a piping bag with a star tip to create beautifully shaped meringue nests.

Strawberry meringues are a perfect dessert that combines sophistication with simplicity. By following these steps and tips, you'll create a stunning and delicious treat that is sure to impress. Whether for a special occasion or just to satisfy a sweet craving, these meringues will be a hit with everyone.
