Method

Hide images
step 1
Preheat the oven to 140°C/120°C fan/gas mark 1.
step 2
Whisk the egg whites (3) until soft peaks are formed.
step 3
Add the caster sugar (170 g) 1 tbsp at a time, whisking constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and a glossy meringue has formed.
step 4
Use four dots of meringue to stick a piece of parchment paper to a large, flat baking tray. Spoon the meringue onto the paper in six craggy mounds.
step 5
Bake for 1.75 hours, or until the meringues sound crisp when tapped underneath and easily peel away from the paper. Set aside to cool.
step 6
Meanwhile, place the raspberries (180 g) and vanilla extract (1 tsp) in a bowl and crush the berries using a fork. Slice the strawberries (220 g) and gently stir them through the raspberry crush mix.
step 7
In a separate bowl, whisk the cream (200 ml) until soft peaks are formed and fold in the custard (250 g).
step 8
Crush the meringues, reserving some of the crushed bits to serve, then fold into the cream and custard mix. Swirl through the berry mix.
step 9
Layer into six individual serving bowls or one larger dish. Finish with a crumbling of the reserved meringues.
