Ingredients (for 2)
- Egg whites, 4, at room temperature
- Caster sugar, 220 g
- Cornstarch, 2 tsp
- White vinegar, 1 tsp
- Vanilla, 1 tsp
- Heavy cream, 300 ml
- Fresh fruit: berries, peaches or passionfruit
Steps
- Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks, then add the sugar a spoonful at a time until thick and glossy.
- Fold in cornstarch, vinegar and vanilla; spoon into a 20 cm round on baking paper, making a dip in the middle.
- Bake at 120°C for 75 minutes, then turn the oven off and let it cool inside with the door ajar.
- Just before serving, whip the cream, pile it on and top with fruit.
Cook it together: One of you whisks (it takes a while), the other prepares the fruit — decorate the top together.
