- 3 large eggs
- 175g castor sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornflour
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- few drops vanilla essence
- Filling
- 225g strawberries
- 1 cup frozen blackcurrants
- 3 cups fruit yoghurt
Instructions
1 Preheat oven to 130ºC. Line a baking tray with grease-proof paper.
2 Place egg whites in a large glass bowl and leave to come to room temperature. Whisk on a low speed. Gradually increase speed until frothy. Continue whisking until whites are stiff and form peaks.
3 Whisk in a third of the sugar at a time. Make sure it is well mixed before adding more.
4 Use a metal spoon to fold in cornflour, vinegar and vanilla essence. Spoon meringue onto prepared baking tray. Shape into a 23cm round, making a hollow in the centre.
5 Bake for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, until meringue is firm and crisp on the outside. Cool thoroughly before removing greaseproof paper. Cool before filling. For the filling, slice strawberries. In a bowl, mix blackcurrants with yoghurt. Spoon into centre of meringue. Add strawberries and chill for 20 minutes. Serve decorated with fresh mint.
