Meringues with rosewater<br />
raspberries and white<br />
chocolate cream<br />
MAKES 6<br />
Meringues keep really well and<br />
can be made several days ahead.<br />
Simply store cooled meringues in<br />
a plastic container.<br />
For the meringues<br />
3 egg whites<br />
200g caster sugar<br />
300g fresh raspberries<br />
1tbsp rosewater<br />
For the white chocolate cream<br />
125ml milk<br />
125ml double cream<br />
2 egg yolks<br />
2tsp cornflour<br />
1tbsp caster sugar<br />
100g white chocolate, chopped<br />
Preheat the oven to 130C/260F/<br />
Gas ½ and line a large baking tray<br />
with baking parchment.<br />
Whisk egg whites until firm then<br />
gradually whisk in 175g of the<br />
sugar until the mixture is thick and<br />
really glossy. Spoon 6 mounds on<br />
to the prepared tray, keeping them<br />
as far apart as possible. Bake for<br />
1 hour until set and lightly golden.<br />
Transfer to a wire rack to cool.<br />
Reserving 50g raspberries<br />
to serve, blitz the rest with the<br />
remaining sugar and rosewater<br />
until smooth and store in the<br />
fridge until required.<br />
To make the white chocolate<br />
cream, heat the milk and cream<br />
in a small pan until almost boiling.<br />
Beat together the egg yolks, sugar<br />
and cornflour until smooth then stir<br />
in the hot milk. Return to the pan<br />
and stir gently over a low heat until<br />
the mixture boils. Simmer for 2<br />
minutes while stirring, then remove<br />
from the heat. Stir in the chocolate<br />
until melted, cover the surface with<br />
cling film and chill.<br />
To serve, divide the meringues<br />
between bowls with the raspberry<br />
sauce, chocolate cream and<br />

minutes.<br />
