ingredients
- 3⁄4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons water
- 8 -10 small plums (stones removed and each cut into 8 pieces)
- 1 1⁄2 cups frozen raspberries
- 8 amaretti biscuits, crushed (about 1/3 cup)
- 3 large egg whites, room temperature
directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F
- Place 5 Tbsp of the sugar, cinnamon stick, and vanilla in a medium sized saucepan with water. Gently heat until the sugar dissolves. Add the plums to the pan, bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the plums have softened. Remove from the heat and stir in the frozen raspberries. Leave to stand for 5 minutes, then remove the cinnamon stick.
- Divide the crushed biscuits among six 6 to 7 oz. ramekins, and then spoon the stewed fruits over.
- In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites until it holds a soft peak. Gradually whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and continue beating until you have a stiff, glossy meringue. Heap some meringue onto the top of each ramekin. Use a spoon to spread the meringue to reach the edges of the each ramekin and then to make pretty swirls
- Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and cook in the oven for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the meringues are golden but still soft inside. Serve immediately.
