Desserts / Summer

Ingredients
Equipment
- Stand mixer
- Piping bag
For the meringue
- 3 egg whites
- 180g maple sugar
For the maple whipped cream
- 250ml double cream
- 20g maple sugar
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup (preferably golden colour for its delicate flavour)
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
To garnish
- 18 strawberries
- 3 mint sprigs
Method
For the meringue
- Preheat oven to 100°c.
- Pour the egg whites into a mixer with the whisk attachment.
- Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks, then gradually whisk in half of maple sugar until stiff and glossy (the meringue at this stage should double in size).
- Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the other half of maple sugar, then continue whisking for 2 minutes.
- With a piping bag, pipe the meringues onto a baking tray covered with a baking parchment sheet.
- Bake the meringue for 3 hours.
For the maple whipped cream
- Add all ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
- With the whisk attachment, whip the cream until it forms smooth, thick peaks (the mixture should be easily spreadable but holds its shape).
To assemble
- In glasses, pipe the maple whipped cream until 1/5 full.
- Add a few cut strawberries and crushed meringues.
- Repeat the layers until the glass is full.
- Decorate with meringues, strawberries and fresh mint.
