RASPBERRY & CHOCOLATE MERINGUES
I know this isn’t too relevant but I had to share these meringues (I hope this isn’t turning into a baking blog). Inspired by my favourite cafe Little & Friday
I served them for my family Christmas lunch, they would be great for a party or entertaining
INGREDIENTS
150mls Egg white (approx 4 egg whites, if more discard)
1 cup Caster sugar
2 teaspoons Cornflour
1 teaspoon White vinegar
1 teaspoon Vanilla essence
100g Chocolate (I used Cadbury Energy)
20g Fresh As Raspberries (Half a packet)
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 150°c
Chop the chocolate into small pieces
I used Fresh As freeze dried Raspberry pieces
Whip the eggs whites until soft peaks
Gradually add the sugar and beat until glossy
Sift the cornflour over the mixture and fold through the vinegar and vanilla essence
Add the chocolate pieces and raspberries and gently fold through
Dollop the meringue mixture onto a baking sheet the size you prefer or you can pipe it on for a more uniform shape. Just make sure the chocolate and raspberries will fit through the nozzle or hole
Dust with a little icing sugar and serve
I found the raspberries a little tart, I’m not sure if it was the batch or they are like that because they are freeze dried
