"Pink Meringues with Strawberry Sauce"

 

• Ready In: 1hr 10mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 100 g sugar
• 75 g icing sugar
• 3 egg whites
• 1 drop pink food coloring
• 250 g strawberries
• 2 tablespoons strawberry jam
• 300 ml double cream

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 120C/110C Fan/Gas 1. Line two baking trays with baking paper. Mix the caster sugar and icing sugar together.
2. Whisk the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until they form stiff, glossy peaks (this is best done with an electric mixer).
3. Add a dessertspoon of the sugars, one at a time, whisking until stiff again after each addition. Add the colouring with the last spoon of sugar.
4. Using 2 dessertspoons, put the mixture into 12 piles on the baking trays, lifting it out with one spoon and easing it off with the other.
5. Bake for about an hour - if they can be lifted off the paper easily, they're ready.
6. Puree a third of the strawberries with the conserve. Whip the cream until it just holds its shape.
7. Fill the meringues with the rest of the strawberries, cream and sauce.
