Method

Hide images
step 1
Preheat the oven to 140° C/120°C fan/gas mark 1. Whisk the egg whites (4) and vanilla (1/2 tsp) until soft peaks form (save the yolks for another recipe). Add the caster sugar (235 g) 1 tbsp at a time until you have a glossy meringue texture.
step 2
Add four small blobs of the mixture to the corners of a 25x35 cm shallow baking tray and use them to stick down a sheet of greaseproof paper. Spoon the meringue mixture on top, then use a spatula to spread it out evenly, creating gentle swirls and slightly raised edges.
step 3
Bake for 1.5 hours, then turn off the oven and leave for 2 hours (or ideally overnight) to cool completely.
step 4
When the meringue is cooling in the oven, hull and halve the strawberries (400 g) then place most of them in a bowl with 2 tbsp icing sugar (2 tbsp), the strawberry daiquiri (50 ml) (save the rest of the can to drink yourself!) and half of the mint leaves (2.5 g). Set aside to macerate for 1 hour.
step 5
Combine the cream (400 ml) with 4 tbsp icing sugar (4 tbsp) and whisk until soft peaks form. Spoon over the cooled meringue, followed by the macerated strawberries and the remaining fresh strawberries. Finish with a grating of lemon zest (1) and the remaining mint leaves (2.5 g).
step 5 Combine the cream (400 ml) with 4 tbsp icing sugar (4 tbsp) and whisk until soft peaks form. Spoon over the cooled meringue, followed by the macerated strawberries and the remaining fresh strawberries. Finish with a grating of lemon zest (1) and the remaining mint leaves (2.5 g).
