A light meringue roll filled with fresh cream and berries.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp corn starch (cornflour)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp white wine vinegar
  • 4 large egg whites (preferably organic, older eggs are better for meringues)
  • ⅔ cup sugar (Baker's sugar is best)

Filling:

  • 8 oz heavy whipping cream (preferably organic)
  • ½ cup raspberries and/or blackberries (fresh)
  • ½ cup strawberries chopped (fresh)
  • 1 Tbsp confectioner's sugar (for dusting)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Line an 11"x16" jelly roll tray (swiss roll tin) with the baking paper, and preheat the oven to 325ºF (160ºC).
  • Mix the cornstarch, vanilla and vinegar together in a small bowl, until smooth; set aside.
  • Whisk the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until stiff, then whisk in a little sugar, and a little of the cornstarch paste, and continue adding until they are completely mixed in.
  • Spoon the egg white mixture into the prepared tray. Smooth out the surface with a spoon or a spatula.
  • Bake for approximately 25 minutes, until golden colored.
  • Place a towel on the counter, topped with a sheet of baking paper, sprinkled with confectioner's sugar and turn out the meringue onto the paper.
  • Peel away the lining paper and place a new piece of baking paper on top, then roll the meringue, starting from the short side, using the towel as an aide. Let cool.
  • Whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  • When the meringue roulade is cool, unroll it, and remove the top paper; spread the whipped cream over the entire layer.
  • Sprinkle with the berries and re-roll the dessert, placing the seam side down. Dust generously with confectioner's sugar.
  • Carefully move the meringue roulade to a serving plate, and add a few berries for decoration.
